Take my picture HERE Mommy.

This is from last year, not one of my best photos, but I love my memory that goes along with it. Here is the scenario:
Me - "Tavin, come over here so I can take your picture."
Tavin - "Take my picture HERE Mommy."
Me - "You want to pose right next to the bird bath?"
Tavin - "Yeah take it here."
And without further instruction he smiles (and poses all by himself.) I take the shot and then he runs away to play and wants nothing more to do with my camera. :-D
I cropped it as close as possible as the background is a bit distracting. The shadow I love and hate, as I should have used a flash. Although with the Lightroom 4 beta I was able to bring out the blown out parts much better than with LR3. I realize I can photoshop the distracting background, I just haven't taken it over to PS yet. It's pleasing as is and if I try again in the future, I'll close the darn fence, use my flash, faster shutter speed, better depth of field, etc, etc.
If I shoot my kids candid, I get no cooperation. I have to set it up like a field trip, then they go along with it much better.

hey at least he stopped and posed, mine would have ran for the hills. I need to duct tape their butts to the floor. :)

You are lucky, lucky, lucky. By the way, I don't see anything wrong with the shot, he isn't a blur from taking off so it's a good shot

Thank you! Main problem is they always want to get like right on top of the camera.
