So I often have a wild hair and try to take some cute photos of the girls. It tends to be a bit frustrating and often leads to about 300-400 shots with maybe 1 or 2 that turn out ok. I recently purchased some new studio flashes and decided to try them out a bit. Note that they were not really prepped for such photos (ie, Hailey is just in a diaper and a bit of straggly hair on all 4). We did it anyway and it was a bit difficult. Jadynn almost cried and the rest just looked at her wondering, but I have decided that this is a great representation of each of their personalities and age. I love this last photo. Haileys eyes just really give her personality away. She is stubborn, not as much as Maddie, but she really has a talent with goofy looks and sneers. She is a real cutey. Jadynn is our Manic/Depressant child and this group of photos was taken in approximately a 2 minute interval and you can see the changes from almost tears to a large grin (by the way, they are not in the correct order so just believe me). Dansie is the stalwart 1st child that of whom, perfection is expected and upon whom the higher standards are placed so her siblings will see her as a wonderful example. Maddie is just there, making sure that you can see her, but not concerned with all the glamour that her older siblings desire. I couldn't get them to smile very well, so I, with all my Hardy gene's "Let's make a game out of it techniques" decided to ask for a mad, sad, goofy, suprised and whatever else I could think of to stop Jadynn from crying and get them all to give me the perfect natural smile and not some forced head tilted "Look Dad, I'm a princess" Smile. You can plainly see, this did not work and oh well, I have enjoyed looking at the pics. They make me smile. There they all are, just like I know them.

Even before I read the description, I said to Bruce, "I love the last one." It really does capture them. It reminds me a little of that one picture of when we were kids in front of your motor cycle. I'm in my prom dress, Allisa's in her leotard, you're holding up your dirt bike and Jack is eating a sandwich. What a fabulous camera. I think it would really like to take some pictures of Italy... Why don't you take it over to fulfill the purpose of it's creation say May 17th-Jun 1st?
