What do I do with my kids when I have a photo shoot…

If I absolutely have to take them with me (which I do a lot because…well…Paul works out of town a lot!) here is what I do…

Bribe them.

Kind of.

Is it considered a bribe when you tell them you will take their picture too if they behave?

Man I hope not…

Or I use food…for some {ahem} of my children…

And because some of those children squeal and hit when others are trying to share take her food—she gets to hit the whole small bag by herself.

And an even better bribe…

And something they love to do…

Gather sticks. (Only one of them in this picture really likes to do this… The other one just really likes having her picture done!)

So now you know my secret of what I do with my children when I have to take them with me on a photo shoot.

Bribes do work. And the only thing these cost me were…a small bag of chips and a little memory on my hard drive. A price I am more than willing to pay!
