February 5, 2011 Professional Photo Shoot

On February 5, 2011, us Indiana Lesnets got some professional pictures taken by Amy Harnish at Portrature Studios down in Fishers.  She holds the copyright to these awesome pics (and bushels of patience as the Lesnet boys were not very cooperative) so you can look but you can't touch or sell or anything like that.

Our goal was to get some good shots of the boys together and if the boys were holding up okay, go ahead and get a family shot.  Well, it didn't quite work out that way because when we first arrived at the studio, Kai was all ready to go.

Kai sitting there quietly taking pictures while Bubba is screaming on the other side of the studio. 



Now Kai is starting to get distracted by the commotion so Amy brings in a prop.  A very old Polaroid camera.  Kai likes this!


All right, Eli has now calmed down and is ready for some picture taking!  

He's doing an awful good job looking at the camera while Kai is in full melt-down mode.


Bubba looks like such a little man here.

In these pictures Kai was still angry and Eli was still happy.  These 3 shots probably took 20 minutes!



Okay, well...both boys are out of patience and so maybe we can get some pictures if they are with old mom and dad.  Fortunately, they both really like us for now.

Now Eli is in full melt down so I toss Kai up in the air a couple of times to distract him from losing it as well.  The photographer caught me comforting Kai on film...pretty cool!


Eli is now all better and ready for some more pictures as long as he's held by either mommy or daddy.  Time for a couple of more family shots.

Amy had a stuffed pig that she had on her head for these shots.  Kai couldn't stop laughing at the silliness!


Kai's turn for melt down so daddy will play with a very content Eli.  Again, the photographer liked the baby with daddy moment.



Kai has now been bribed with ice cream after the photo shoot.  He is now very cooperative!  Too bad we couldn't get Bubba to look at the camera at all during any of these shots.




No one has to look at the camera for a foot shot.  Maybe we should have got more foot shots!

Time for ice cream yet?

Does Bubba get ice cream too?

Shouldn't we be eating ice cream by now?

Last picture?  Still getting ice cream right?  Yayyyyyy!!
