Tonight we had to swing by the studio and I figured I would let Miles take a little whirl in front of the camera. These are us just screwing around trying to catch a couple shots while simultaneously making sure Miles didn’t destroy the studio or get big black shoe marks all over the brand new white chairs.
We laughed so hard watching him ham it up and laughed even harder once we got home. There are SOOOOO many, but I gotta get to bed. I thought I would throw these online for the grandparents super quick tonight.
So first of all, remember that comment about making sure Miles didn’t destroy the studio? Yea, we weren’t kidding.
Many have asked if we will have our kids at the studio often and the answer really is nope. That’s why we got a studio space! It’s gonna be a kid free zone for the most part. That way when we are with them, we are with them fully, not half at work half with them. You know? At least that’s the plan right now.
Once we talked Miles into putting the pillow down, we had a lot of fun and I think he did too.
I think he looks totally different in all of these photos. He’s like the kid of a thousand faces.
He has many expressions; here’s his sad face that he gave to us upon command. (I told you guys he got my dramatic side!) Just try saying “No” to those eyes.
I can’t remember how we got this genuine smile. Those are pretty rare for 3 year olds when a camera is involved. (We usually get that big squinty smile. If you are a parent, you know what I mean!)
This is his new favorite look that makes us laugh so hard. It’s just his “funny face.” Yea, that’s John in the background. You can tell when it’s just us we don’t always try very hard. This face KILLS us! Those lips! AHHHHH!
Here’s a quickie shot to show John’s new beard. I love his beard, though it’s ouchy to kiss him! Miles and I both flinch when he comes in for a kiss, so for that reason, he may not keep it much longer. This isn’t a shot I would take for a shoot, the light isn’t right. But again, it’s just for us. My standards aren’t as high for myself, but again, it’s that whole trying to be a mom WHILE photographing your kid thing….
I’m a total idiot to be blogging this late and not in bed. I have a really busy day tomorrow so I’m signing off right now. Nighty night!
PS To those of you asking questions regarding the last post about John sleeping on the floor, he answered them in the comments.

You can tell John I said that, from one wife of a man with a good-looking beard to another
