Christmas card portrait fail

On Thanksgiving weekend, our yard was still full of leaves, so we decided it might make a nice setting to attempt to take a family portrait, so we could maybe send out a Christmas card for once.

I set up the tripod, we put a Santa hat on Ashley, and and took some test shots… things were looking promising.

Next I got in the frame and we took a whole bunch of photos.  Well, they were all the same… just likes this:

Ashley is a cheerful kid and smiles all the time… except when you need her to.  We couldn’t do anything to get her to smile.

So maybe next year.  On the plus side, Ashley had a good time playing with the leaves and the tripod.
