When I spoke to their mom the first time on the phone, it turned into a very unexpected conversation. She had expected to just give me her name, phone and email, and set up a time to photograph her just-turned-5 year old son.
"Please tell me 3 things that your son loves".
"Oh, he loves baseball, and books, and being outside".
After a few other questions about his likes and dislikes, I told his mom,
"I think we should do a session around his love for baseball."
She got REALLY excited.
"I never thought of doing something like that! Could we do a couple of the boys together?"
And so we began to plan what would become an EPIC session.
It was a beautiful day.
Her boys actually acted like they like each other!
This child is bound to become a baseball champion!
This next image, his dad was playing with him, sending imaginary pitches. What is going on in his mind? I think this is my favorite image from the session.
And the books! He loves to read. It's another one of his favorite activities. This stack is a good representative of this favorite pastime.
Location: Allen Pond Park
Time: About 4 pm
Weather conditions: Mostly Sunny
Amount of fun: a LOT of fun
That is a beautiful story befitting such gorgeous photographs! The boys look adorable on their baseball uniforms. I'm sure they'd do well in the game, just becasue they have such strongg passions for it. Also, they sure know how to work the camera. They are such natural posers! Hahaha! Thank you so much for sharing that! More power to you and your craft!
