Who is the masked man? Well, this is one of my favorite little boys to photograph! During his session his mother and I were bargaining with him that if he did well with his ‘normal’ pictures, then he would get to put on his spidey suit and have some additional photos taken. It turns out that these are my favorites of his session. Not only does it totally capture his personality, it just makes me smile every time I see them! I think I will be ordering this collage for above my desk!
This is a good reminder that portraits don’t always have to be stiff and perfect smiles. We want to remember our children how they REALLY were during that age – whether it be a serious expression, a crying baby, a grumpy two year old, or a spidey posing four year old. These are the pictures that really capture the essense of childhood. ENJOY!
