Picture taking in the Thompson house...

If you have had children or ever tried to take pictures of children you will know where I am going with this. Asher has reached the age where he understands that when mommy holds up a camera of any kind and says in a high pitched voice, "Asher! Smile for Mommy! Asher, look at Mommy! Asher...Asher...Asher..." that he is supposed to cheese it up and give me a good smile. Well, lets just say that smiling definitely happens, but you have to have some fast fingers because the smile is a moving target these days. The sweet, angelic look is hardly ever captured on the first take.

Case and point, yesterday Asher was rocking his Buckeye gear for game-day and I thought it a picture worthy opportunity. Here is the progression of pictures that finally resulted in one that I would actually share with people...

Attempt #1 looking half asleep

Attempt #2 Trying just a little too hard

Attempt #3 looking a little drugged

Attempt #4 still drugged

Attempt #5 coming out of the drugged look...almost

#6 Whoa! Too much Asher, too much

Attempt #7 Ok, he is getting a little crazy...lets try one more time...

Attempt #8 Good enough:)


Hope this brought you a good laugh:)
With love,
Mark, Allyson, and Mr. Photogenic (Asher)
