warm up


so i bought a tripod and a little remote a few weeks ago with the lofty goal of taking family pics...  i knew that it wasn't going to go all that well the first time, so we decided to do a trial run/ "warm up" [these photos] and then take what we had learned and do a real try another time.

there are a couple good ones, but i can say we are definitely going back out. checklist for next time:

-find the remote i bought so i don't end up still having to use the self timer, and race the little beeping camera in heels and then stand on a steep hill and look like i belong at the 'mystery spot'
-go at sweet light (around 7 am and 7 pm right now?) we slept in this morning. oops.
-andrew wants a haircut
-go to the original location we scoped out but didn't have time for
-probably don't wear a necklace so that i'm not always ripping it out of avery's hands and making her cry (and end up hanging her upside down)
-try not to be so stressed that on the inside i am screaming and on the outside i am doing a fake smile

and even though i don't care for the family ones i am glad to have some real pics of avery and me.
