“A boy’s story is the best that is ever told.” –Charles Dickens
I loved the images from this session because they were so “boy” to me. This young man always had a stick in his hand or was climbing on something. I can appreciate this because of the two boys I have. God made them that way…to want to pick up sticks and move around a lot. In my all-boy sessions I try to catch a lot of moments without the new-found stick, but I don’t mind at all having a few shots of our favorite stick. When he is 18 he may not pick out such great sticks or care so much about them! I’m not sure – just guessing! I just know if they do grow out of it us mothers will not mind so much in the years to come when we look back on it.
Now that I have mentioned the stick too much I have to show those images too (along with a feather):
We captured many wonderful portrait shots and I’m glad we also got so many fun images that show what being a six year old little boy is all about. This is a great example of why albums are such a great idea in addition to your wall art. Mom ordered several framed prints for the wall including a large family portrait and she also chose a collection with an album so she can have the whole story of this afternoon.
Here is a little preview of it below. They are getting frames in my most popular color sold of custom Organic Bloom Frames, Root Beer. The album has gorgeous color on thick pages that are durable for even young children to enjoy over the years.
Disclaimer: This little boy didn’t always have a stick in his hand. He let his mom hold it for him and told me all about his first grade class at school. He told me who had not been so good this year and that he was VERY good. I think I believe him. He is a real sweetheart.
