This is so perfect! I love it. Emily in the middle is my favorite, her face cracks me up, and the wild babies, and Parker and Elizabeth trying and then giving up, and the music, oh so funny!

So incredibly true….I love the middle child just sitting there the whole time…

This should definitely be put somewhere where the whole photography world can see it. Justin, this was just awesome, and it did, indeed, make me laugh. I agree with what Lisa said. Fun expressions on her kids faces, and the music is perfect. But, out of this, did you get any good pictures of the beautiful family?!?!?

That’s great! Is the music from a Pixar film? Sounds familiar, but I can’t place it.

That was great… I’m glad to see other photog’s can’t get 100% cooperation 100% of the time! :) I’m feeling less inadequate now. Thanks!

Yes, the girl in the middle is my favorite. She is so over all the drama.

Oh, the laughs. I have watched and watched this and laugh every time.

I love the Monster’s, Inc. music. :)

Okay, I watched it–again, twice–to keep an eye on the other siblings. Some classic faces there, too, while dodging the flailing arms of their babies. What great older siblings they are!!

Justin, I rewatched this and it’s just delightful…the pictures, the perfect choice of music. You’ve got a gift!
