Photoshooting Hammy

This kid is extremely adorable, and so incredibly sweet.....But every 5 seconds some part of him has moved from where it should be or he is distracted by something. Just keep clicking the button and then luckily somehow you end up with a few good shots to go with the like 50 crazy ones. Gotta love him.

Here's just a fraction of a sampling of how a photoshoot with him goes.

(After being prepped and then plopped where I want him) "Do I have to get pictures right now?
Me: "Yes, you have to."

"Okay, I'll keep this one, because it's a classic Isaac face..."
"Okay, that's a nice smile, but remember to keep your arms up straight okay?"
A sudden bout of the giggles..."Isaac, dude, what's so funny?....Could you just sit up straight real quick?"
"Is this straight enough?"
Me: "Yes, that's great, but now quit with the vampire look and just smile...."

A few more vampire shots later, "Isaac please, just one quick nice smile for me okay?.....What in the world is so funny?"
"Wonderful, thank you."
"Isaac, don't make your eyebrows go up and down, just hold them still and smile, okay?"
"I think I need to go to the bathroom!"
Me: "Yes, now I have a picture of your classic "gotta go pee" face. I promise I'll let you go pee, just do 2 more good smiles, okay?"
"Perfect! Love this one!"
"Wow, look how long my tongue is..."
Me: "Yes Isaac, now just focus for a minute? Please? Just one more good smile, okay?"
(through a yawn) "Are you almost done, this is taking forEVer..."
Me: "Isaac, you've been sitting here for 5 minutes...just give me one more nice smile."
"Thank You. You are DONE."
...and my little Hammy was gone before I turned back around.

I love the commentary with the pictures, it was fun thinking of Isaac's voice with his sayings. What a silly kid! He's very handsome, all your boys are. Its amazing that you got some good shots with all that!
