That's what you get with me behind the camera... and here's what you might hear me say during a quick shoot:
Okay, we're not going to pout about the shoes right now. One more time, say: Papi has a stinky diaper!
Okay, you guys, look at me and we'll try to get done real fast.
Whoops! The baby doesn't have shoes on... we'll just roll with it.
Okay, everyone look at me and smile please.
Say: Papi's stinky.
Everyone look at Mami. Okay, say: Papi wears diapers.
No, Cruz, we're not talking about your diapers.
That got a good smile, let's say that again. Cruz, look at me. *Blows raspberry*
Alright, no more blowing raspberries... and Eliana, please don't take off your shoes right now.

Not exactly professional, and certainly not respectful... but at least I've got a few smiles with it. What are your favorite tricks for getting the kids to look.... er, somewhat normal when taking pictures? I. Need. Help.

hehehe, I can completely sympathise with trying to co-ordinate three kids for a photo shoot. The fun part is you always seem to end up with some lovely candid shots. Your little ones are all so sweet.
well they look darling regardless :)
Thy are SO SO SO cute! Their eyes and dark hair..wow! I don't think you need any help, they photograph just great! But just in case bribery works wonders!!! (a trip to Chick-fill-a, etc)
That's about how my photoshoots go with my three kids. Which is why I rarely have one with all three!
But you got some real cute ones! I'll have to try the stinky diaper trick with mine!
Oh, real life, imperfect photo shoots are the best! Your kids are as gorgeous as ever and you are such a sweet mami! I love it!
haha! i know how these photo shoots go ;) i usually add a bit of bribery in there too.
Heh! I love it! Wish I had secrets to share. I think these photos are great!!!
rolling with laughter...and I thought getting one kid to look at the camera was difficult!
haa - love this series!! too cute. and i'll have to remember that stinky diaper line - it is sure to bring a laugh to the kiddos. it is so hard to get three kids all looking great in a photo - but so worth the laughs, right?
Oh, I love this little peak into a real life photo shoot and, I'm going to put that "papi is stinky" trick in my back pocket and pull it out later. Love it. Ha! I'm sure your kids thought you were hilarious.
