Well, someday that will be true. Today, I live with my wife and three little girls. And you know what? I sincerely love it. I grew up around women, for the most part, I have a reasonable understanding of them, I even like things that women like. That’s right, I can watch What Not To Wear or a cooking show and embrace it.
My reward for embracing women?
Tell me that’s not awesome!
We went out on the front porch this morning after church and busted out the self-timer function on the camera. This one can be set to burst one or many shots. The chronology of the shots is really fun, I think.
First off, the serious, proper, straight picture.
I love this picture for the reactions from the girls. Oakley is in awe… the romantic. Lindy is so enchanted she’s actually trying to participate via her pucker. And Aspen is just embarrassed to the point of laughter.
Things quickly degenerated into this… And for those of you keeping score, I do think Aspen has just busted out the international symbol for “call me”.
And then, “the photographer” must have said something like, “Tim, have you really imagined what life will be like in about nine years?”
Truth be told, I’m not all that scared, but I do think that’s about the funniest face I’ve conjured in quite a while…
Great pictures and great post. What type of camera with the burstable self-timer? So the question is: Just who is Aspen asking to call her?
The camera is a Canon T1i, one of their more recent digital SLRs. Just set it up on a tripod and used the self-timer, and it let me choose how many pictures I wanted it to take. Pretty cool.
Don’t know who Aspen is beckoning… it better not be Campbell.
I absolutely love this! Jenn looks smashing in red, by the way. I’m pretty sure Aspen is calling up an order for a bigger swing. She’s had it up to here with having to stand in the back.
Thanks… I love these pictures too. Jenn asked me this afternoon if anyone liked that last picture of me as much as she did… Little does she know how much I like the pictures of her!
I love them, especially the kissing/cuddly ones. As for that last look, I believe that’s ol’ Tim when he’s staring college tuition for those gorgeous beauties in the face! Love them. Great job. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, the traditionalist in me settled on the first shot due to the symmetry, background, outdoor shot on swing,etc and then I just fell in love with the “love” shot! Great ones!
Thanks, Caroline. Don’t know if you clicked through to this one. Aspen’s level of laughter is awesome… I think we’ll look at this whole set of pictures down the road and love them even more. Can you imagine not having all these great images (like you take as well)?
We all have pictures from our childhood, but not nearly the number our kids will. I wonder if this one will adorn Aspen’s wall when she lives on her own?
No, I had not clicked through to that…but the raw emotion and 2nd grade squealies is so authentic and priceless, anyone who has ever been around a giggly little girl can relate to her there…wow, the power of the super clicker self timer!
Cute Pics! Don’t you just love the self timer function! Who needs a photographer?… wait a second, don’t quote me on that!
