One last image before the big night of frolic and folly. Mom and I had a good laugh, when he started eating the banana. I wanted to squeeze him. My daughter was there for this shoot, and I have to say she was great with him. He let her style his hair and feed him raisins.
We are getting ramped up here for a night of trick or treating! This year I decided to make Emma's outfit.I figure looking back she will remember her mom making birthday cakes and costumes. She wanted to be a princess witch. And it didn't take too long, before we devised a costume that was just the right amount of spook and sparkle. That's mainly because everything she wears has to have some kind of sparkle to it. I don't think I will be surprised if she comes out of her room one day, looking like Cher.
“I will show you a love potion without drug or herb, or any witch's spell; if you wish to be loved, love”
Here is a small sampling from that day. I think the image of the little boy, caught between all those girls is hilarious! Its one of my all time FAVORITES!
I wanted say, that they picked an excellent DJ, he played music that was relevant and touching. If you need or would like information, please contact me and I will get that to you!
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me....
The stand by me lyrics immediately came to mind as we ventured out to photograph these brothers. I have a girl so my world is filled with pink everything and seldom do I think about how it must be like to raise a boy. But after this session, I can say that having a boy must be one of the greatest things ever. I can imagine days filled with frogs and mud puddles, where super heros come alive in a moments notice. And I know boys have a lot of energy which I find quite honestly inspiring. The joy to leap and climb without reservation about getting dirty must be so much fun. Ah, really I wanted to take them home with me. I loved how much big brother really looked after little brother. They are indeed best friends. And what could make a mom more happy or proud than to have two sweet children that get along.
We had a great time, and as a side note, this location was a dead end with no thru traffic. I don't condone taking children out on streets or even rail road tracks for that matter. If your a photographer, consider looking for locations in which you are absolutely confidant that are safe and fun to take portraits at.
