Why life would be easier without passport-type photos (a photo essay)

Well, first you have to calibrate the camera. After you select the bribe, that is ...Then you take a perfectly fine photo only to realize after downloading it that evidence of the bribe was left behind ...(Not pictured: The video the kid took after the camera became the new bribe.)
Silly me for assuming he knew which camera I was talking about when I said, "Look at the camera!" Several times. In an increasingly irritated voice. And maybe a few extra words I shouldn't have said ...Followed by at least four shots like this:And a few more like this:Is this my blog or TMZ's celebrity mug shot gallery?Nope, won't work either ...In other words, if any of you need any ID-type photos taken of your toddler/preschooler, I'm definitely not the person to call ...

LOVE IT! They are all keepers, even if they don't qualify for pports. Hope you finally got one after all that!

The hazards of this lifestyle - trying to take a picture of toddlers! The next time we need ours renewed, I am bringing my kids to you :)
