Stan & Eisha: Thomas 6 month pictures

So the first year my babies are born I take them into get a professional picture shoot every 3 months. After that it is just once a year. So we have three kids and Stan thinks this is a huge waste of money (especially since there have been episodes of getting the pictures taken, paying a sitting fee and then not purchasing any pictures because they were SO BAD). Stan decided to solve this problem by buying me a camera with some lenses and telling me to have a go at photography.

So Thomas is 6 months (and due for his 6 month pictures) and I have my camera so how hard can it be right? To make a long story short. I just spent 2 hours trying to get Thomas to smile for me....and HE wouldn't do it! I had the perfect backgrounds...first the dock (which he almost crawled off of), then the grass (which he ate...and never once looked at me) then the beach, (I should have known he would (1) eat the sand (2) spit it out (3) and then crawl into the water...which would ruin his outfit thereby preventing any further picture taking.

These are the best of 2 hours so enjoy...because there are only 5...

After this picture he went straight for the water!

Yummy sand!

This is a funny smile for Thomas, usually he has dimples, I later found a bunch of paper in his cheeks...

Maybe this last one will have to be it! But I am so sad I didn't get his dimples!!!

Heidi said...: Wow, your photography skills are excellent. I especially love the composition of the one where Thomas is crawling on the dock, not the closer one, the further one. Great job!; 8 February 2009 at 17:58
