On pictures and teeth

You would think taking a picture of teeth, or lack of them, would be a snap. Point, hold for a toothy smile, click, picture. There's lots of stock photos out there of checkerboard smiles. How hard can this be?

I don't know what mutant children these are, but I can't get a picture of the incoming and outgoing teeth to save my life. JT's tooth came out last night, and of all the pictures I took, only one had a hint of missing-toothiness.

We will not even discuss the trials of taking pictures of HM and her nubby teeth. Suffice to say, her new habit is rolling her tongue over these new things in her mouth. Until she develops a tongue I can photograph through, you'll just have to trust me that the teeth are there.
