Attitude From a Sprout

He's on to me...

 

As soon as the camera comes out…

 

“No, Mama, I don’t wanna smile. I just want to PLAY!”

Then he high tails it out of there…

 

and gives me attitude!

And he’s only 4! Oh dear…

Adorable!!! I love how you captured his expression so clearly... love it! :)

Courtney said...

LOL! Yeah, Keegan does this occasionally. So frustrating to a photographer.

My oldest grandson is 6 now, and he does the same thing. He simply WILL NOT smile for a camera. All attitude on his face. Sounds like your son is normal.

My kiddos always had their plastic smiles for the camera. They turned them on and off with a switch, I think.

Your sons are such cuties.

LOL! I get a lot of attitude now and he is only 2 1/2. He says Mama, no picture, no thanks. They are too funny!

i can tell you - it's getting worse - as soon as they are teenagers you'll have a hard time to get them in front of a camera….at least that was the case with my children…smiles

So tell him to keep playing and pretend Mommy is not there. Maybe it will work :)

Mine whine about the camera too sometimes and they're older so I've gotten used to taking pictures of them just doing things and sometimes those are the best ones.

That just tickles me to no end!

Tracy said...

Aw, what a cutie! He must be the source of many "test photos". My husband is one of those and he acts the same way. :-)

Sorry I haven't read for awhie...just trying to make it through life. Snug will still let me photograph him...but LMM is not too keen on it these days!

Emmy said...

Hehe, good luck. :). So hard when you are a mom who likes taking pictures.

Together We Save said...

How cute.... maybe just a stage? I hope he starts letting you get the kinds of shots you want.

Becky said...

What a beautiful face, that boy...smiles or not!

That's exactly how my son is! He's 4 years old too, and I swear I only have a handful of pictures where he's actually smiling.

Lourie said...

My son is the exact same way. He will even put his hand out in front of him like he is the celebrity and I am the paparazzi! I think school pictures will be interesting. haha.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

This is so adorable! While I don't have kids, my siblings have become the same way ;)

Ashley Sisk said...

You might need a long zoom - let him play and snap from afar. Either way...you got a few good ones!

Mine's 10, and he does the same thing!! That is, unless he's holding a new toy. Then he'll pose wonderfully. :)

Pennie said...

Isn't that CUTE?

I love how you capture their personalities in your photos!
