I swear she should oink instead of talk
Last Friday, we had some family pictures taken here at the Daily Record by Bil Bowden, one of our outstanding and infinitely patient staff photographers.
My husband -- who had all four impacted wisdom teeth out on Halloween and reinjured himself just as he was starting to feel slightly normal -- really didn't want his picture taken because he's still a chipmunk (but just on one side).
I am hugely pregnant and swollen and was still fighting to make my last haircut look even slightly presentable, so I wasn't exactly ecstatic about jumping in front of a camera. (All right, fine, I don't "jump" anywhere anymore. I walked slowly and carefully in my 3-inch heels, hoping there would be no accidental shots of me from behind.)
For Sam, there was nothing more exciting in the whole wide world.
Here are just a couple of the nearly 100 shots Bil took:
This is Sam in her Halloween costume. In case you couldn't tell, she was a cowgirl -- and a very, very happy one.
This was toward the end of the nearly hourlong shoot. All Bil said to her was, "Sam, could you go sit in the chair for me?"
My kid's a ham. A total, juicy, oinking ham.
Because I think she's too cute for words, here are two other pictures I just gotta share:
Go ahead -- tell me my husband's adorable. He'll like seeing that posted in the comments part. =)
I love this picture. I just love it.
Are your kids hams? Do they love being in front of the camera? Is there a certain age when they outgrow this?

Aim, all those pictures are ridiculously adorable! I think you're all hams. ;-)

I love the last picture as well. No kids never outgrow being hams. I'm a teenager and I still love being in front of the camera and showing off. But hey, maybe that's just me.
