iPhone Photography

I saw online that there was a photo contest for the next "Gerber baby." I thought to myself, "Why not? My kids are cute... (I know. Every mom thinks their own kids are cute. But come on. I get stopped in the grocery store all the time by old ladies admiring Finley's cheeks.) ...We could do this." Not to mention the cash prize. Which is already spent. In my mind. It's gonna be awesome. I went to enter Finley and realized I didn't have the perfect picture. Seriously though. I've got one shot (literally) to make this happen. It's gotta be a good one. I spent the rest of the afternoon in a photo shoot with Fin Man. Luckily for both of us he was in a good mood. I got some good shots, mostly just okay shots. But definitely. Not the perfect one. 

They were either blurry,

or not quite the right expression,

or he had stuff in his mouth,

or otherwise just not perfect.

We even did a wardrobe change.

And... Encountered the same set of problems.

And then some. 

It's easy to capture a great shot when our future isn't on the line. I mean I was planning on buying a camera with my winnings, so I could graduate from iPhone photography.

I did make an entry:

With this one. Which you may recognize. From a previous post. All that hard work for nothing. Well. Nothing but a blog post.
