Ham or Stinker

Remember when I told you to stay tuned for what it takes to take pictures of Stone? To refresh your memory, you can click here to see the post of some if his 2 yr. shots we took last Sunday.

Let me tell you. This kid is either a HAM for the camera, cheese ball and all, or he is the biggest stinker and won't give you a chance. His birthday was the latter. In fact, we probably took more than 250 frames between 2 cameras, and the ones I posted as his 2 year pics were probably the only decent shots we were able to take that afternoon.

Here are a few shots of me trying to get him in his most uncooperative 5 minutes of the shoot when we almost gave up:

And here is his pout when we begged him to look at the camera:

By his pitiful frown and tears, you'd think we were being so mean. We just wanted pictures of him ON his birthday. It was actually quite fun, though you'd think he was thinking the opposite. He got cake afterwards. :)

I SO know how you feel. It's torture most of the time. B has started saying "cheese" for the camera, however. We might be turning a page here. :) Stone is still cute, even when he pouts!

I'm impressed you just didn't give up! Those pics made me want to give him a big hug!

That is hillarious. Thomas says cheese, but never smiles and never looks at the camera. It drives me nuts. I love that Cliff took pictures of you taking pictures. So funny. At least you got some good ones!
