Challenges that photographers have

I've been desperately trying to get a nice picture of my son for his Godfather. Quite a wonderful gift arrived for him this week, you would think that I could take one nice photo as a thank-you! 

The task is more challenging than it seems! 

Trying to pick the time of the day is a bit of a challenge ..

And then you get the mischievous look ...

And then trying to keep him still for 10 seconds is a nightmare ...

you know what they say, don't work with animals or children!
