I have been wanting to start an 'Outtakes' file on facebook for a while, Phin solidified that for me. This shot a had me rolling. As it turns out, Phin is quite the multitask-er.

And the thing about portraits with two year-olds is well, they are two year-olds.  You can't exactly ask a munchkin to go to the park surrounded with things to explore and play with and expect them to just sit and smile for a picture. So, you let them decide that they WANT to be in the picture. This shot we were trying the, 'mommy and daddy are going to take a picnic, don't you want to join them?' trick. As you can see, it didn't work out exactly as planned. I do love this shot though, especially mom and dad's expression in the background.

And finally, one of my favorites. The expression on Phin's face here is just priceless. I am pretty sure this is the point in the day when the cute little doggy passing by transformed into a vicious attack animal (or at least in Phin's eyes). Poor kiddo.
