What's a Mom To Do..??

What's a mom to do when a photo shoot doesn't go quite as planned and smiles were few and far between??

Take your own pictures!

With as many pictures as I take (daily, non stop... ALWAYS!) it should come as no surprise to anyone that I just HAD to try my hand at getting some smiles captured with our real camera for Grant's half birthday.  With Valentine's Day being just 3 days before he turned 6 months, I took the opportunity to continue the heart theme at home.  

Luckily for me (and you ;) I'm stubborn.  It took THREE separate sessions (in one day) to get pictures I was finally satisfied with.. This BOY!! I swear..lol.

Thankfully though, I caught it.  FINALLY.  The perfect smile.  That cheesy grin.  That sideways glance.  It is everything.

The whole series of photos can probably do with some color editing and all that mess...but lets be real here.  Who has time for that?!
