I have been bottling something inside of me for years and I think it is time to let it out. I think traditional kids portraits are too perfect. There, I said it. That is a load off my chest. Of course this is coming from someone whose favorite author is Mark Twain. I love Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. Moving on.. you guys already know Jack-Boy. I am doing everything in my power to make sure he has a proper Huckleberry Finn upbringing only without the Drunken Father and all that. Bare feet are encouraged at our house. Melanie might beg to differ. Anyway I find with my kids that when I get an urge to photograph I just grab the first kid I see no matter what they are doing or wearing. They are used to it. When I shoot I imagine looking at these shots when I am 60. I think how much they will be worth to me. There is no price. It doesn't take long at all to capture a memory. I did this session in 10 minutes within 100 feet of my front door. I love these kids!!
P.S. You may notice Jack-Boy has some turquoise finger nail polish on. This may be a big difference between him and Huck Finn. The difference being that Huck never had sisters.
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered--either by themselves or by others.

So dang cute!!!
I agree. I flippin' hate Kiddie Kandids and Jaylynne Photography. Also, remember those pictures my roommates and I did at Wally World? I hate posed stuff like that (unless you're in your twenties or thirties). Jack is cute- have you checked his diaper today?
I love those pictures of Jack. I did not notice the polish, but I'll look a little closer!
