Breakfast Portraits?

We went to Tunnel Park in Holland last weekend, to cook breakfast in the park then go to the beach for a while. Being me, I took my camera, of course! While we cooked and ate breakfast, we watched a couple having engagement portraits done, with the photographer taking them here & there, back and forth, and posing them almost the exact same way at each location... I muttered some creative direction (couldn't help it, but I was quiet enough they wouldn't hear!), and watched the poor guy get increasingly bored with the whole thing while his fiancee and the photographer talked about her dress & wedding plans :)

This prompted me to scout locations for Senior pictures, of course! While on the beach I took a look at RJ's clothing, and decided we could do a few shots. RJ wasn't really feeling it, but went with it anyway (to humor me, I'm sure). We did a single pose on the beach, and another in a cool tree in the park. Given his expression in the last shot I took, he was over humoring me. We went with that and called an end to the shoot :)

Here are my favorites from the few we took:
The only one I got a smile that shows teeth!


Just before the final shot, getting that "are we done yet?" look.
