Finally Having Connor's Pictures Taken

One of our friend's from high school, Kate Drinkwater, recently posted that she would be in Greenville and wanted to set up some photo shoots with anyone interested in having pictures made. Cameron and I have been wanting to have someone photograph Connor around his 1st birthday, but with how our life has been the past two months, we haven't gotten around to it. Once Cameron saw her post, we jumped at the opportunity. We were wanting to take them on Furman's pretty campus, but it was closed due to graduation that night. We finally settled on Cleveland Park, which actually turned out just great. I knew having his picture made would be quite a task, but I didn't realize it would have been that difficult. He's not one to sit still or relax at all, and this day was no different. He wanted to chase and pet every dog that passed us. He hardly sat in the chair I brought and he definitely wouldn't sit on the ground for more than 2 seconds. We kept chasing after him and when she asked him to do something, he would pretend like he didn't know what she was saying (booger!!!). I felt like we were wasting her time and I was totally bummed out. She said she had gotten some good ones, so I just had to trust that she knew what she was doing. She had the pictures sent to me the next day. I was amazed at how fast she went through them and edited them. I was so relieved when I saw them because she had really captured some great photos. Not that I was worried about the quality, just the subject ;) Below are some of my favorites.

Gah, I just love his blue eyes!

Cameron is quite proud of his pitching grimace
