Blue Steel

So Chris wanted some professional photos taken of Parker. He even had outfits in mind that he want to see the little guy in -- James Bond & Cowboy -- maybe ''costumes'' is a better word.

I was sort of ambivalent -- the only profession photos I've ever taken were school photos. So I let him be the stage mom.

The shoot itself wasn't that bad. We changed clothes pretty quickly and Parker was a good sport (and, of course, so was the photographer). I got a bit nervous at the end because Parker's attention was waning but I guess what would you expect after an hour.

In the end, though, even with my Mom bias, I think I can safely say the pictures came out really good. Looks like the grandparents will be getting Parker 2009 calendars this year for Xmas.
