About These Easter Outtakes

This post collects the candid, in-between moments from a family Easter photo session — the shots that didn't make the final cut but ended up being the ones worth keeping. If you're here from a search for family photo outtakes or Easter picture ideas, these are the real, unposed frames.

Why Outtakes Are Worth Sharing

Getting several kids to look at the camera at the same time is its own kind of adventure. The outtakes capture the wiggles, the blinks, and the personality that a perfectly posed portrait usually misses.

The outtakes are the best. I'm going to post a few of mine before I even post the "good" ones.

I'm glad Seth is doing better. Did you get a picture of the youth praying and laying hands on Seth? If so, would you share it with us? I think it would do wonders for many people.

They sure are growin' up fast, El! I think you need to do new sidebar photos already. They have already changed so much!!! =0)

You have a beautiful family, even if these weren't the pictures you were hoping for.
Take Care,

It's hard to get them all looking at the camera! Adorable, nonetheless!

Thanks for sharing. I am just catching up on all of your posts! I am happy to hear about Seth feeling better and all.

I have quite a few of "outtakes" from trying to get all 5 grandchildren together for my parents! LOL!

Still very cute!! If it makes you feel any better I didn't get much better and I only have one to wrangle. :)

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Easter outtakes?

Easter outtakes are the candid, imperfect photos taken during a family Easter photo session — the blinks, wiggles, and unposed moments that don't make the final posed shot but often end up being the most memorable.

Why share outtakes instead of the best photo?

Outtakes capture real personality and the reality of photographing kids. As this post notes, sometimes the outtakes really are the best of what you get.

How do you get kids to sit for Easter photos?

Patience and a sense of humor help most. Many families take a batch of shots and keep the funny ones alongside the posed portraits.
