I always have to take like 1000 pictures to get one good one! My trick is to get them tired out. It's soo much harder to take pictures with more than one though!! Make sure they're tired. And, to get them to look, I always use a whistle that I got out of a 25 cent machine. LOL They love it! (But sometimes Jack runs to me instead of just looking

)
For the pics with the hats, I played with them for about an hour before we took it. I made them sit next to eachother and took about 50 pictures. LOL Then, I got the cutest candid, it looks like Rosie is kissing her brother... she's actually sniffing him.
Rosie is seriously SO PHOTOGENIC. She lets me take millions if pictures of her in strange outfits doing weird things.

And, she really doesn't care. But, Jack... I have to take like thousands for one good pic. I've included some of my best pictures of Rosie.
For the one where she's got her eyes closed-- its a candid! She was sitting there, and I called her name, she looked back and blinked... and I got the pic

For the one of her in the Christmas box, lets just say that one took about an hour to get. LOL And, a LOT of preparation.
