One of our yearly family rituals is called: taking the family photo in the autumn luster, or some such nonsense. This is how this goes.
First, we attempt to set a basic color-coded wardrobe plan. Everyone had to wear: red, orange or black with denim bottoms. I don't specify what they wear exactly; I just let them find their own style.
Then, we begin the long, drawn-out search for the perfect backdrop. This year we ended up at Anna Page park.
Then, we have to set up the tripod with the camera attached and plead with our standers to stand still long enough to frame it up. This is the hardest part. Loving commands like, "Stop slouching!" "shoulders back and down" "weight evenly distributed on two feet!" are graciously offered by their parents. ( I felt like I should start the pilates push-up sequence next)

This shot was pretty good.

You have such a beautiful and photogenic family!
Hi Bean,
This is so much fun! The kids are sure growing up to be Winsome Webbers. The kids look like they are having fun. I wish I could have been there.
Mom
Great pics.... A lot of people have meatloaf planned this week... great comfort/Autumn meal!
Your family looks beautiful, O.M.! I think having a family photo tradition is such a great idea. We are rather hit and miss about taking pictures of all of us. My DH was a professional photographer for a few years (still does some work occasionally), so we have a lot of incredible pictures that don't have him in them.
We have a tripod. That's the only way it happens. Nobody is THAT patient to take pictures of us.
Thank you Kari, and Mrs. P for the kind words.
