This morning I set out to do the impossible…get some photos of my oldest to commemorate his 5th birthday. Most of you have heard me say this at least once, but photographing your own children is tough. Very tough (for me anyway). Not today, though. I won’t pretend our little session was full of bliss, but it wasn’t full of tears & frustration either. We got a bit of a late start so the locations I was hoping to use weren’t available. We improvised and found a fun little spot I’ve had my eye on for a while.
Getting these shots of him made my day week year. Five is a big year for kids. It’s the line between little kid & big kid. It’s filled with important things like kindergarten and loose teeth. Yep it’s a big one, and I think it’s going to be a great one for my big guy!
Of course my little guys were along for the ride so I had to snag one of them all together. This shot was inspired by the fabulous Tiffany of Follow Your Art Photography. She’s done this a few times and as soon as I saw the first one I knew I’d have to give it a whirl with all 3 of mine.
See you soon!
