Each of these shots were taken with the aid of a timer. Ten seconds. Run across the porch, down the steps without tripping, around two corners, and don't fall in the future water feature. Get in place, smile. Don't pass out. I did this like ten times and someone always had their eyes closed, or was looking at the pretty humming birds or the ground or at one another. Family portraits ain't for cowards. Or the out of shape.
