Photos never go as planned

It seems that when I try to get photos of my kids something always happens to make them not quite right.

1- They pose and look cute but not natural
2- One of the kids gets hurt and look all blotchy
3- They have other things they would rather be doing and don't sit properly
4- There are other thing but these are the 3 big ones.



In this photo Andrew and Matthew are trying very hard to give their most beautiful smiles (but they look kinda forced) and it was taken after Matt was hurt (hence blotchy face boy). Still they are very cute. Yes I know I am biased but I am allowed to be, I am there mum.
