A picture-taking guide

First, dress your children in their pajamas and put them on your bed
(especially if your room has horrible lighting and makes everyone look quite gray).
Nothing screams classy like pajamas in a photograph.

Next, take a picture similar to this one. Not bad for a beginning shot, but not quite there yet.

Now in your confidence that you got a decent shot, try another pose. Yeah, something
like this one. Wow. Now that is a photograph to give to grandparents. Nice.

If you are really lucky, the photo session will end like this one. The baby-will-
need-therapy-haphazard-pile shot. We really like this one at our house.

You're welcome. Happy shooting.
