I asked them to give me their best “teenage expression”.
Isn’t that funny?! I love the socks dynamic in that one too. 🙂 I don’t even know if they “know” any teenagers. Nonetheless, they have a definite idea of what it means to look and act like a teenage boy.

Mera,
These are HILARIOUS! And adorable! Hopefully you won’t have occassion to use these as blackmail/bribes when the kids actually ARE teenagers but it must be nice to know you’ve got ammo if you do! 🙂

I love the toothless attitude……so cute! I have a girl and boy teenager and you will have to tell the kids they are so right on with their impersonations.

Yes, the lack of teeth really make her look like a hoodlum — love it! HILARIOUS! This has gotta be your Xmas pic this year… seriously…

Really hilarious; very clever, your children!

So smart of them to think of the underwear on the outside! Hilarious!!!!

I love the underwear theology! Your kiddos are so fun and what a great comedy relief in stressful web/blog maddness!

These are hysterical! It looks like you will have a lot on your hands over the next ten years or so–but in the very best way!

very timely! it’s been so dark here that i’ve had to start using my flash, which i hate. so i rigged myself up a (please don’t laugh!) tinfoil flash reflector and put my flash on high and it works great to bounce off the ceiling!
don’t you just love how kids interpret the world? i think they’ve got some of those poses right on. :O)

i’m not a teenager anymore….but i still wear my undies outside my jeans. word up!
November 20th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Oh my goodness. You have the best kids!
Thanks for sharing these – and the flash tips.
Joining you in prayer for a website launch – SOON.

So glad your enjoying these shots too. The kids crack me up! While we were buried into our computers, they busted out with this and I can’t stop laughing when I look at them.
WOW, we are so close to have the buggiest of bugs worked out! I can’t wait, wait, wait!!!
And Jeramy, of course you still wear your underwear like that. Why am I not surprised. 🙂
And Shawna, you go girl! whatever it takes to divert your light, do it! You’ve totally got it–tin foil and all. I’ve done the same, and I think it’s genius! Go girl go!!!

i will think of them whenever I see teens with their underpants hanging out. lol.

( I hope this doesn’t post twice… sorry!)
Those two just crack me up! They are way too much!
Ahhh… the flash… I just can’t seem to love her! I’ll keep trying!
Can’t wait for all this new stuff happening!
November 20th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Jeramy? You wear “undies”? I thought girls wore “undies”. Boys wear boxers or underpants. Want to clarify?

Seeing as I have a teenager, I found this hilarious. The facial expressions are TOTALLY teen expressions. Especially Blaze, he nailed it! Thanks for the photo recipe too because I struggle with indoor shots! Guess what I will be doing tonight?

My partner and I have been really discussing about almost the same issue last Sunday over coffee. I was never able to complete the dialogue or to get to common ground. I don’t know what it’s though, but hey – maybe that is how life has things in store for us. We value you covering this particular subject for sure. It got us talking once again and I think we will ultimately get to a similiar result in one way or the other.
