In the middle of May my niece got married and I knew we would be taking family photos. I have been prepping my son for several months about these photos from discussing the clothes and shoes he would wear (for only 15 minutes max) and the expectations of what I needed him to do. He has tactile sensitivity so I explained he would not be sitting in the suit (stand up only pants) and he only had to wear the dress shoes for photos and then he could change back into his beloved Crocs. I also let him pick out his bow tie, which thanks to Dr. Who made that process a whole lot easier. All my preparation made a world of difference. He got up, smiled for the photo with no complaining or arguing or crying and it was over in 5 minutes!
I added a photo from the photographers website and while he isn't smiling in this one, he is looking at the camera and isn't slouching which were other photo issues we have had in the past.
I told him how proud I was of him and he was rewarded with a nerf gun, which he LOVES!!!
