my smiley guy

A quick father's day shoot...

just long enough to catch a few genuine smiles...

a mini session with my little guy

we went out to play football today, but first snapped a couple shots out back...he's finally getting old enough to enjoy having his picture taken & actually smiles & looks at the camera...fewer genuine smiles (it's the fake "say cheese" look), but more eye contact, so that's a good thing.

Don't ask me why football requires a baseball glove, i couldn't tell you.



yes, he's up to something!

Christmas card picture adventure...

You wouldn't know from all the smiles, but we had an uncooperative photo day.
please vote for your fave in the comments, I need to pick one for our Christmas cards. thanks!

When your child does not cooperate, offer brownies. It helps, but sometimes they end up jumping up & down & then you're left with cropped heads:

1.

another good bribe is allowing a favorite toy- although sometimes the child refuses to hold it low enough to keep it out of the picture...

2.
just don't ask them if they know where the camera is (at least I could caption this "Merry Christmas to YOU!")...
