Back in early December we had Schwarzebeere's kids for an evening. Brombeere had decided earlier that we were going to give Schwarzebeere a picture of his kids for Christmas and that evening, when we had the kids, was our opportunity to get the picture. So we stood them up in front of our Christmas tree for pictures. Now, those who have kids had have ever tried to get pictures of small children will understand that the process of getting good pictures did not go smoothly. If you're a Calvin and Hobbs fan and have followed that little imp over the years it was in publication, you will understand what I mean.
We wanted one of all three and another of each one individually. The individual shots went well enough.
But getting all three to cooperate all together proved very difficult. It seemed like each time we'd have two of them smiling good, the third one wouldn't.
Someone wasn't getting what they wanted, wasn't getting their way, wasn't happy for one reason or another. IT wasn't always the same one, they took turns being uncooperative and pouty. It was getting very frustrating. Brombeere tried all kinds of stuff to get them to cooperate and just smile all together. But some 30 minutes and 58 pictures later we had some that we thought might work.
They actually are cute little kids ...
... sweet and kind ...
... and very endearing.
And while the one of all three of them wasn't show-window perfect, it was good and very representative of who they are. So we decided to go with it.

Hehehehe... ah, the joys of getting portraits done. Little kids make it even more exciting. Well done!
