Self Photography

Ever since Sam and I took our engagement photos, we've somehow managed to be our own photographers.  (I'll be honest--usually Sam's the one with the camera.)  So with the holidays coming up and the leaves in our back yard at their peak fall colors, we got out the camera and tied Cohen's toy Cookie Monster to the tripod. 

Sometimes as a parent you have to decide between stopping your kid from doing something gross,  or getting something really funny on camera--we chose the latter.  Here Cohen is discovering a snail shell.  Of course we knew where this might go ... 

Here he is after tasting the shell.  Luckily he didn't like it, and luckily we got this picture!  

My two favorite guys!

My cute family in lighting that wasn't cooperating.





I LOVE this smile!

Handsom Hubby!


Cohen letting us know he was finished with the photo shoot.  He left Cookie Monster to fend for himself!

I think we finally got one good enough for our Christmas card, but I think next year we may hire a photographers other than ourselves--it's a bit more challenging with a kid running around!
