Jantsen's Favorites

Jantsen has been getting alittle tired of me taking all these pictures of him and never getting a chance to take his own pictures. So today while I was checking things on the computer, Jantsen had his own photo shoot...the way a photo shoot should be according to a 3 year old.

About 5 minutes after I realized that he was still taking pictures and also realizing that the little "click" sound I was hearing in the background about every second was the shutter from our camera. About 70 frames later, these are some of the things Jantsen took a picture of.

Of course, His own Water Bottle, his toy Cars, his Hand (very intrigued with this one), and his alphabet Magnets, what else is really important to a 3 year old.

He really was having a great time and wanted to take more. Trying to make it at least productive while keeping him occupied, I told him to go into the kitchen and take some pictures of his favorite food. Keep in mind Jantsen thought of these all himself, took them himself and then came and showed me after he was done. No cropping or adjustments were done to these pictures. They are the originals!

Anyone that knows Jantsen-He has ALWAYS loved cheese, so what else would you expect, the shredded cheese on the shelf.

Next we have Apple Juice. Not a meal goes by that he doesn't drink his apple juice.

This is a given, right Mom! Costco has the huge packages of these gogurts that I loved buying! Definitely always on the grocery list. Good quick breakfast!

What is this you might ask? According to Jantsen, they are "quesadillas". (flour tortillas) But he is right, we do make his favorite cheese quesadillas regularly. He loves to dip them in ketchup (thanks to Buffy's Kylie) or Ranch (thanks Dustin) and sometimes both when he can't decide.

Lastly, this big white picture is Milk! Hey he tried! You can see the outline of the milk jug with a juice container behind it. Hahaha!

And those are really his favorite foods. Add Cinnamon Toast Crunch and you have Jantsen's basic daily intake.

So then I tried to keep him busy and told him to think of his favorite color and find things that are that color. He found these 3 things. 1. His blue stool 2. A blue Magnet ("D for Dylan") and 3. "I found a blue bucket" -He was excited for this one! He LOVES blue!

I really do think some of these pictures are pretty good for a 3 year old. For those that have taken Photo 1, framing, rules of thirds, lines, you name it-he has it. I think we have a photographer prodigy on our hands!
