The Face
Posted on July 1, 2010
I’ve made a promise to myself to start to enjoy taking photos of my children again. Things had gotten kind of crazy with me begging, pleading, yelling out bribes, yelling out threats, and just plain yelling all to end up a whole lot of nothing. So I decided to take the challenge head on and go out with my two year old. Now we all know that a two year old is about the most difficult thing ever to photograph. They are quick, busy, and just don’t listen that well! So I’m loose and ready to go have a grand time in a local creek that I thought he would like.
All is well as I start snapping shots. I’m remembering to not get upset at him for not looking at the camera or paying me any attention. Then it comes…The Face. The Face is something his older brothers and father have taught him and it brings much amusement to them as well as to friends, strangers, or diners while we are eating out. The Face tested my patience for a moment but then I just rolled with it.
I give you The Face…



And no session is complete without the all important head shot!

So there you have it! If in about twenty years you happen to be at a WWF event and see The Face you can say you saw it here first!
I did get a couple boring regular ones

I can so relate to this- I have a 2 year old and he quite has ‘the face’ that he gives me too!
Your little is too cute and I love what you captured of him!
What great memories you are recording for your beautiful family. The photos & writing are wonderful.
These are adorable, Jill. I love his face, his overalls – all of it! Please don’t hate me, but I bought a pair of overalls for Ethan and have been scoping out grassy areas to try my own version of this shoot. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right??!
So adorable Jill..how are your boys ??Please post some pictures of baby as well
