Outtakes

If you have the misconception that I get great photos of my kids and that my kids are just fabulous models all the time, this post is to prove that misconception wrong! 

I take hundreds of photos most every time I get my camera out, literally!

And I take hundreds in hopes that there are one or two good ones in the mix.

Then there's the dynamic of my models, the kiddos. 

My explanation... they are kids.

End of story. 

Oh, right, and we bribe them with treats when I really, really want a "cute" photo of them. 

There. I said it.  I'm glad I got that off my chest.

And to fill in for the rest there are blurry photos, awkward photos, silly photos, photo bombers and random photos that make you wonder what you were doing when you pushed the shutter button.

Most are deleted, and some I save and never edit and they are not really usable, and I have no idea why I still save them.  Probably because they are still pictures of my kids, precious memories, but ones I chose not to share.

And sometimes I share photos that aren't great but when it comes down to it who cares if the composition of a photo is perfect.  If it shares a story of my family then it's worthwhile to me. 

Sooo, here are some recent outtakes.  Enjoy!
