It seemed like a good idea at the time...

So I had seen this idea for a family photo from another photographer I really love, Tara Whitney.  I thought it would be really fun to try for ourselves to get a nice but different family portrait we could frame.  Yeah. Not so easy when you're using a tripod and a remote control shutter release.  I could totally see in my mind how I wanted it to look.  It just was impossible to achieve with me sitting on the couch!  I can't focus.  I can't adjust settings.  I can't recompose the shot on the spot.  The sun directly overhead didn't help either.   Here's the only one I feel is OK...you just need to ignore Aaron's hand holding the remote!
