This is Luke, 2 years old. His mom and dad brought him to the studio before Thanksgiving for a family portrait session.What made this special was that it's the 3rd time he's visited the studio which means I'm getting to watch him grow up!
It's funny, but the first two times he came to the studio, he was super easy going and could have made pictures all day. But this time...now that he's mobile and curious...was a different story. He simply didn't want to stay in one place for very long.
I worked hard, and so did his mom and dad. So here he is with the nice train his granddad gave him...you'd think he'd stay there and look cute for a few frames. Not at all. He was more interested in handing us blocks from the train. At least he's looking at the camera in this frame. I do like this image, though. The composition works for me, and I like that the train is a meaningful gift from a family member. It's an action shot...which reminds us that he's 2 and in action all the time.
