…for a picture of genuine smiles??? Apparently, I’m willing to risk my kids' safety for one. On our walk the other night I stopped the stroller and it went rolling away down a slight hill and being boys, Gage and Cooper thought it was hilarious.
“Do it again, Mom!” they begged…
Seeing their sheer joy, I decided to seize the opportunity.
Because most often when I’m photographing them, I get totally cheezeball smiles, a tongue sticking out, a glare with a head tilt, or the back of a head.
So, I pulled the stroller back up the driveway, aimed it toward the gate and let go…
Over and Over and Over again, until I got this…
And it was worth the risk of toppling them over into the muddy ditch that the stroller inevitably steered toward, every time.
I thought I’d share this endearing moment, too, of Gager smooching his little brother on the cheek…
Sorry, I couldn’t pull that off… that was a total lie. He wasn’t smooching him, he was spitting on his cheek. And a second after I snapped this picture, Cooper wacked Gage right in the face for it.
There is often a lot more to a photograph than meets the eye!

Oh, what sweet smiles! Really made my day! I usually look at your latest entry at leat four times during my workday. But today, I've been so busy that I didn't get into your blog until 4:00! I wish I'd gotten in sooner, so those happy faces could have brought a smile to my face...sooner!! And I could have been laughing at the "spitting picture" sooner too!
Those smiles... what joy they have in their eyes!!!!! The kissing photo is precious!
