I often get asked how I get my boys to cooperate so well for pictures. The answer….they don’t! Candy bribes worked for a while. I remember taking pictures of Ethan in his Thomas the train Halloween costume for three jelly beans when he was 2.5. Now it’s escalated a wee bit with some begging and pleading thrown in.

It’s always quite a challenge to get natural smiles instead of cheesey cheese smiles, but being a big goof ball always helps.
