Day 57: Picture Day

Most of you know that I try to do photoshoots of the boys individually around their birthdays. It works out for me because it's spring and that's always a good time for pictures. 

Camden doesn't like taking pictures. The woes of being a photographer's child. 

So with a lot of commanding threats bribery of bubblegum (which since baseball season started, has been a hot commodity in this house), I convinced him to walk down with me to this little gazebo by the lake on our base this morning to take his birthday pictures. So we walked all the way down there,

to discover I had forgotten the battery for the camera. 

Well shit. 

So we walked all the way back to the house and by that time it was time to go to his Kindergarten screening at the elementary school. Then came home and tried again, with the battery this time, thank you very much. 

And holy MOLEY did they turn out cute. For not liking to take pictures, Cam is extremely photogenic, and while his smug little half smile is effing adorable, I can also get a very genuine grin out of him by demanding "DON'T SMILE!!!" 

Ten minute photo session. And done. Easy.

Photo dump!

And then we changed gears, and decided to include all of Camden's favorite toys. Because you know, they're only five once, and before we know it toys won't even be cool anymore. 

Cam's favorites are: Dinosaurs (Jurassic World in particular), Star Wars anything, transformers, monster trucks, and this week, Baymax (Big Hero Six).

And then we had to include the superheroes that appear almost daily in my house. Enter Cam's favorite heroes: Batman, Thor, and Hulk Smash. 

All in all, this was a really fun photoshoot and I'm pleased with the results. 

Happy almost 5th birthday Cam!
