Thanks to my friend and client Lisa, who had a shoot with her adorable daughter back in the fall, I was introduced to little "C" and his step mom Michelle. What FUN! I have to say, I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I get to shoot seniors who are old enough to take direction and want to be at their session. That IS very nice. Then again, I love the excitement and boundless energy of a child. So, my job gives me a little of everything and I feel VERY lucky :) Thank you to all of my clients for this!
Michelle is going to surprise her husband with these pictures but said he wouldn't be checking out the blog so I "sneak peeked" some so she wouldn't have to wait! Michelle is such an amazing step mom. She and "C" have a very special relationship. I'm sure they both feel lucky to have each other. Because I am a divorced mom of two who remarried an amazing man, I know how meaningful these step parent/child relationships are. My kids and Josh adore each other. It's a unique bond that they and Michelle and "C" are fortunate to have.
"C" was definitely full of energy and excitement. We started in his yard, went to the street for some scooter/motorcycle riding, hid behind some trees, played football and ended with a snack of oranges! Whew! And I got to capture it all! That's the beauty of me being where "C" was, doing what he loves to do. Because, as I've learned from my clients and especially from my own kids; these precious stages are just stages and he will soon be moving on to other things. But a captured moment lasts forever. "C" will automatically be entered into the Baby & Child Portrait Contest being sponsored by my lab for a chance to win $500-$5,000! Just for having a session with me-no cost at all! How will I choose just one image to send in?
My fav. Sweet and innocent. Amazed by his toes. Can't they stay that way?
Awww...
He takes his motorcycle riding very seriously!
What's so funny?
