A smile, a scowl and a few tears

I thought it was about time to get some photos of Austin and Emma and I decided to try something different. So, we went downtown and took a few urban style photos. Just a few suggestions for all those thinking about taking pictures of your own kids.

1. Make sure they get enough sleep and not fall asleep on the way to the photo shoot.

2. Food in the bellies keep the kids happier.

3. Contain your kids to one spot at a time.

4. Above all, smiles are always better than tears. :)

Needless to say, everything went wrong. Grumpy looks, a couple of break aways, a few tears, and fast asleep before we got to Florence Blvd. It was still fun. I loved all the textures and colors down there. Besides, the kids are cute - even with the scowls. :)

Here's the slideshow:
