Time for the shoemaker’s child to get some shoes! All you photographers know what I’m talking about. We often get so busy photographing other people’s children that we neglect the fact that we haven’t had an updated picture of our own kids in months. Just like the old proverb, “The shoemaker’s children often go barefoot”–this photographer’s child needed some photographs!
So tonight Jacob, my soon to be kindergartner, and I set out with a goal in mind. To take his 5 year old / back to school pictures. I had this whole idea for a stylized shoot (which I love doing, by the way. Email me if you want to book your own themed session–I love to get my creative juices flowing!) including books and all things school related. Luckily, with the bribe of banana splits hanging over his head, Jacob was a great sport and provided some amazing images.
I just can’t tell you how special this kid is to me. Honestly, I just look at him and think how lucky I am to not only be his mommy, but his friend. He is an absolute crack up (I definitely see the term “class clown” being used in his future) and a bundle of energy. Each one of these images shows a side of him that I love so much and I have so many great memories from our session together tonight.
