bribing, it happens…

I drove past this field of goldenrod 4 times today wondering how in the world I could get my girls to come back later this evening to let me practice my photography…..bribing is the only way it works lately. Well, it wasn’t too hard tonight. My 9 year old requested dinner out at a Mexican restaurant and I have yet to go grocery shopping so win win for us all! She gave me some of her best smiles. Now that I know she’ll work for chips and queso I may be using this one more often 🙂

birch, berries, blankets… and bribing

037-3

I didn’t spend my Friday shopping, instead I took some pictures of my little ladies. It was really cold, 28 degrees cold but the sun was out and it was good lighting. I just couldn’t resist. I wish I would plan more and would pick out the perfect outfit but honestly most photo shoots with my girls are always spontaneous. Ashtin had a new, red sparkly skirt and we went with that! We found some pretty back drops of birch trees and red berries that were perfect. And yes, I had to bribe the girls but it was an easy one this time. It didn’t involve candy, money or even icecream. I told them this would be the very last time this year I’d make them pose for pictures. They were sold! Anyone else bribe your kids for photos? 138-2117-2170098169090178197
