5-Minute Family Portrait

Want to know a secret? This family portrait was Patrick's idea!

He wanted a quick, small gift for his grandparents so he asked me to look for a good picture of the three of us. A decent one.

Of course, I couldn't find one.

On Friday afternoon, I set up a very fast family protrait session. I got home before the boys, so I was able to set up the tripod and focus the shot where I normally do my product photography. Thank goodness for 10-second timers!!

Once the fellas arrived, I asked Brody to do a few test shots while Patrick settled in. Great little model, right?

In five minutes, we got it done! Here are a couple of the shots we tried out.

The photo below is the one chosen to gift! I used the Walgreens app on my phone, which lets me upload the images from my ipad and send them to one of their 1-hr photo locations. I just paid when I picked them up - super easy!

And of course, this goof troop shot is now hanging on our living room wall.

Thanks for reading!
