How to Torture Your Boyfriend

David is a sport to put up with me. I am constantly threatening him with taking pictures and I've always got a camera in his face it seems. Before our trip, I ran in Target to grab a few beach essentials. Like always, I pass through the clothes and bathing suits to check things out and came across a cute little sundress. I knew exactly where I wanted to wear it. On the beach and for a photo shoot. So, I ran over to the men's section and grabbed David a matching t-shirt. I may, or may not, have sent David a picture of our outfits as a threat to his impending torture!

Sunday after he got back from fishing and playing in the pool with the kids, we got all cleaned up and hit the beach. I loaded up my tripod and my remote for my camera and lead David down to his doom. {and I warn you, these will just be pictures of me and David for my mother's benefit. Feel free to skip this post if you aren't interested!}

I had to get a shot of the beginning. I was giving him a pep talk here that it wouldn't be so bad.

Here I am again, telling him to smile and act like he was enjoying himself. He in turn said he was hoping we were done. I had to choke hold him to get him to stay a little bit longer!

A little better!

I love his face here. Poor David! He finally admitted defeat.

And I got a few good shots of him.

I then wanted to try a few different poses. It is a little difficult to do when you have a remote for your camera and not someone actually taking the pictures for you.

Then things just got silly. This was my favorite part. I told David to look out at the water with me.

I told him to gaze into our future. He in turn told me that he was imagining getting in the water and drowning himself. Ha! After that, I figured he was done. He had been such a sweetheart to indulge me this. I didn't want him to push his limits too far. He really is too good to me. But we came out with some good shots and I'm so glad we did it. It was quite the bonding moment. :-)
