My 1st and 2nd born holding their baby sister
My husband was home for the day, and I suggested we do something together. We had no pictures with our baby so it's decided to visit a park for some
photographs. Yes, even my
always-busy-college children were persuaded to join us. As we left
the house I rushed out the door reminding my first born he was to take the last
three of his siblings and meet us. Actually,
though we had talked of going to a park to get some family pictures taken, we
were running quite late. It was a bit
disappointing at first. When we arrived, we rushed to a favorite spot where a
creek now had dried up. As the kids sat on a log, we began taking some snap
shots in a hurry. The lighting was going faster than anticipated as the sun
went down, and not all my kids had arrived. Then it hit me, why not use the
circumstances to our advantage. Yes, we would continue taking pictures but this
time with a twist. My idea was to go for a silhouette theme. Bearing in
mind, there was little time for planning which resulted in some overlapped
figures, I was quite pleased.
