Karma

My oldest is turning three this week so I thought it'd be nice to take him out for some pictures, just me and him. I figured it'd be nice and easy, just go play outside and snap some pictures. Oh how wrong I was.
A little bit about my background, I come from a family of professional photographers, both my parents were amazing photographers and one of my sisters majored in ph
otography and now also does it professionally. So of course us kids often ended being the subjects to photograph and I'll be honest, I was not the best subject. She'd offer bribes, promise it would be a short shoot, anything to just get us to sit still and smile! So when my own children started getting fed up with a camera following them all the time, I called my mom and asked,"why is it that my own children HATE getting their pictures taken?" All I heard was laughing and then she said, "Karma Christine....karma.".
So this mini-session was my karmic-payback for all those years I wasn't more willing to pose for my mom's photos. Sorry Mom. :)

oh man does he look OLD! that must mean I'M old! I think it's a good mark of a photographer though to manage a good shot with a grumpy toddler. Nice work, Chris!

I love the coloring in that third one, and his expressions in all of them!
