Family pictures, enhanced!

Family pictures are supposed to be a joyous occasion in which everytime you look at the photo you get butterflies of how cute and happy you look. If only that was true for our family photos. Lance has made it very clear how much he hates pictures he gave me a time limit of ten minutes to get these pictures done. Thats right, ten minutes! He layed down the rules of one location, lots of shots, just keep smiling until we get at least one with logan smiling. Did this work you ask? With the help of Photofiltre it sure did! I downloaded this software free and because of it our family photo's are now decent. I took Logans sweet little head out of the only picture he smiled in and cut and pasted it into the new one. With the magical blur and smudge tools I blended everything in... Tell me what you think because I think I'm a genius.

After! So for those of you who have quite a hard time getting the perfect family picture I suggest you download the free version of Photofiltre (google it). It has a magic wand that can even highlight and brighten teeth. So my husbands dream of the 10 minute photo shoot was achieved and we left happy campers. Wahoo.

I need to look into that software! I have to take between 10-20 photos just to get him looking at the camera...and the another 10 to see if I can catch him in a smile!

Your pictures look great!
