Nathan has never, ever liked his portrait being taken. I got a few when he was very small (and could not speak!) but, since he was around two or three, he would just throw a fit every time I even suggested a picture...That is why we don't have as many of him as we do the other five kids. I wanted a picture in his football jersey, before we had to turn it it. I researched and researched, trying to find sports photos that did not look "gay" as he calls it. Finally, I found some that I liked, and Dee helped by "encouraging" Nathan to cooperate with me...or else! Thus, I took the opportunity and tried my hand. Now, the lighting isn't that great (I would have preferred waiting a little while until the sun was down, but when Nathan is ready and cooperative, I have to go!) and my flash didn't work like I wanted it to. I have a lot to learn, but, with a guy, posing is the first battle. (See, I even got one of him smiling...that does NOT happen!)
