The Brothers Mac

I've been trying my best to get a shot like this for at least a month now. We went for a photo session a few weeks ago for our holiday pictures and Gabe wouldn't even cooperate enough to sit by Gavin for a minute under all the pressure. It was terrible and almost drove us all to tears. I encourage him to "love brother" at home, often, but don't want to push it and Gavin isn't sitting up on his own quite yet so it's not a good angle to photograph. Plus, Gabe is usually going 90 MPH and being a rough-n-tumble boy, so I don't want him to acidentally hurt the baby. And digital cameras have a slight delay before the shutter, so at 90 miles per hour, it's often Gavin~ sitting alone in the pic, or Gabe's head blurring by or better yet covering the entire frame. Sounds like a simple candid shot to capture, but, NOW, you see my dilemma.

This morning, in his new PJ's, Gabe was kind enough to humor Mommy for a minute while Gavin was propped up on the sofa and I snapped this one, QUICK!! They were both smiling too (What luck!?!?!) and Gabe has no paci.......Oh....so totally worth my wait!!! Don't you agree?? Patience really is a virtue!
