How hard is it to get a good picture???

This is another photo shoot I did with the girls. I want so bad to get a cute picture of the two girls together but never have much luck!! I want both girls smiling, both girls looking at the camera, and not doing anything weird with their hands. It doesn't seem like too much to ask, but for some reason I guess it is.

So I keep dragging them out - bribing them with candy, and threatening them with time out. The girls aren't happy until it's over, and I'm only happy until we start taking pictures. This is usually what we end up with:



And then at the end, the little diva inside Elaina came out. I was laughing so hard when I was taking these pictures. What attitude!
It's so hard to be mad at them when they're so stinkin' cute, even in bad pictures. Here is one that is ok:

I loved seeing these pictures of two adorable little girls. Thanks for being so willing to take the long plane trip up and back so we in Calgary could enjoy all of you for a few days.

It is hard to get a good picture!:) Good thing they are so cute!:))) Actually smiling, hands down and looking at the camera is just too much to ask!

Very cute! It's pretty hard getting toddlers to sit still enough some times. But, these are cute!
