Three year portraits

Since my brother has such a good camera, we decided that he should be able to get at least one good shot of Jonah that could be his 3-year portrait. We got a few good ones! Here are some of my favorites...

Initially we started in the backyard and it wasn't an ideal location. By the time we moved, Jonah had already started to burn out. Yes, he melted down and I really wasn't sure what to do. Quit and give him a break, or persist?

We decided to proceed. I gave him a pep talk and somehow managed to pull him out of his slump.

And then we got some great pictures! They were all taken up and across the street on the property of strangers.

(I LOVE the hair. Bad news - I cut it all off this week!)

This one is possibly my most favorite because it captures Jonah's curiosity. Here he is carefully looking into the lens of the camera, watching the shutter open and close.

Thanks Uncle Mark! Great stuff!!!
