These three boys have a special place in my heart. Their mamas have been incredible friends of mine for many years & it’s very awesome to see their individual personalities take shape as they grow. Having my own son & another boy on the way, we are very aware that when we get together there is some major outnumbering going on! It’s ok though, because with little “mans” {as my son Kevin would say} as handsome & sweet as them, it’s not a bad thing to be surrounded!
Brothers.
Cousins.
I could shoot with this delicious lighting every day and never tire of it {and subjects as perfect as these boys}!
Oh the temptations for three young boys climbing on this contraption… they showed a lot of restraint for this portrait!
After we “finished,” we let the boys cut loose and this perfect scene unfolded. This is why when I say I’m “done” I never put my camera up right away:
Photographing children is outrageously fun & unpredictable! You never know what you will get & they are quite entertaining.
Here are some outtakes from their vintage inspired portrait session:
I enjoyed this session so much, a big thank you to their mamas for coordinating their outfits and helping to keep everything flowing on such a hot March day! We enjoyed popsicles at the end {to my satisfaction}. My one regret is that I didn’t incorporate the women behind the scenes, but I look forward to when we will! ♥
What a fun shoot, love these photos! And your two previous posts, the beautiful newborn and the little girl posing with the treats you made, were both so precious. Your work always amazes me.
Andrea, these are absolutely adorable! We’ll have to talk. I need a cool pic for my book’s back cover. I’m open to any ideas you might have.
