Family Photo Fiasco

Chris and I have only left Brianna with a sitter a handful of times. However, every time we do I make it a point to take a family photo before we leave. We're usually dressed up a bit (translation: I've actually bothered to put on make-up!), and we have someone there that can snap a photo for us, so it just makes sense to me.

Before we left for the Gala on Memorial Day, I wanted a family photo. Brianna wasn't dressed up like we were, but that didn't really matter to me.

Unfortunately, every single shot came out kind of horrible. And for once, it's not me that I want to photoshop in every photo *grin*.

Here is take number one . . . just caught Miss B at a bad time:
Ahhh, that's much better of B, but ummm, what's going on with Chris?
Yeah, we were obviously not ready for that one!
This would be a decent photo, but photographer? Maybe you can explain what happened here.
Okay, why Chris is standing like that I do not know. I give up!
This would be the reason I have yet to spend the money on professional family photos.
