Self Portraits

Jake is the self portrait professional! You can always tell who is taking the pictures when one of just Jake (usually a goofy looking head shot) shows up in the mix. He just loves snapping pictures of himself... vanity? Maybe ;)

Anyway, I am taking a lesson from him since I can't seem to get any pictures of me and the kids as I'm usually the one on the other end of the camera. I remember looking through pictures of my childhood and rarely did I ever see pictures of my mom because as is typical... she was the one taking the pictures.

So, here are some pictures I took of the kids and myself! Not to bad huh Jake?

2 words... "Self Timer" Then you can have both arms and your whole body in the shot! (I am pretty sure your camera has that feature, mine does.)

You know... I never even thought about that! I'll have to check, but a self timer poses two problems... 1) keeping Al still that long... and 2) just not as fun as the self portraits.

I will have to say that I am a purist, and that the self timer feature is most definitely cheating. However, if you had really short arms I can see it be necessary.
