Family Pictures
In the above video, I mentioned two other videos, and you can view them below.

In the video below, you will see the full 26 minute clip of our Red Jeep Photos. The crazy, silly, impatient and my snippety ordering around of my family as my boys teen friend snaps away. My phone mounted to the top of my camera captures the whole thing. I think it’s pretty funny and will give you an idea of how I have our family pictures taken (and how I boss my family around during it) but not sure if you will find it as entertaining???
