Five

A while back I took Sam out for some five-year photos.  It took half a bag of goldfish to keep Evie entertained in her stroller, but Sam had a blast.  He came up with the poses for photos 1 and 3 and he chose the location for the last image (the one spot I

didn't

want to shoot in, go figure).  Good thing he's got ideas because I do

not

like posing people, especially my own little people!  But he knew what he wanted, so we went with it.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say not many five-year olds will sit for this many shots, and I bet even fewer will give creative input.  He's an interesting little man.

When I showed him the last image, he was very excited.  "I love it!"  he said.  I told him we'd have to print it and hang it somewhere.  He smiled and said, "Okay.  Just please don't make it gray!"  Guess he doesn't share my love of black-and-white photography. ;)

Happy Five, Sam!
