Photoshoot

You guys saw this picture the other day. It's me and Grandma and my cousin J.J. It's a nice picture, but you don't know the back story, at least until now. See, Grandma really wanted a picture of her two grandsons together on her lap. But I don't think she realized how tricky it would be to get a baby and a one and a half year old to sit still and smile for the camera. This is the end product. What follows is the process.

This was one of our first tries. As you can see, J.J. doesn't like to sit still for anything under any circumstances.

Here Grandma got J.J. to sit still and she has a nice smile, but my face was blurry. Strike two.

In this one Grandma is getting annoyed. She's trying not to let everyone know that Grandpa, just off camera, isn't helping her out to her satisfaction and is being threatened. J.J. and I thought that was pretty funny.

This one is all action, with two squirmy boys trying to break loose.


And again with the finished product. Aren't you glad Grandma stuck with it?
