After my bluebonnet mini sessions on Saturday I had my husband bring our toddler up to the Grapevine field for a few photos of his own. Clients are always asking if I have a million photos of my own child, and while I do have a lot compared to the average bear it still takes some work to capture something other than our average life. It is nice to put in the extra effort sometimes and have my little man dress in nice clothes and hang out in a beautiful location. I love doing lifestyle photos and around the home photos, but it is refreshing to get something a little out of the norm of him. However, most of the time these photo session experiments with my own son really bomb. He is so used to taking photos for me that none of the tricks work on him. Plus, he is a 2 and a half year old boy–in my opinion the absolute most difficult creatures to get photos of.

So, I had pretty low expectations for how this session would go. I laid out the clothes for my husband to dress the little dude in and gave them instructions on where and when to meet me. I would have been happy with just one decent image. Amazingly, Mr. Holden was in a fabulous mood and just wanted to ham it up! Combine my little ham with a gorgeous sunset and a perfect field of Texas wildflowers and I am one happy momtographer.
