Y’all….I am so pleased with these images. A few weeks ago my family loaded in the truck for a massive Saturday afternoon excursion on the other side of DFW. We had to pick up some Craigslist find for my husband, make a trip to the IKEA during its ‘people zoo’ peak of the weekend, and finish it off with some location scouting for my fall mini sessions. It was exhausting, but so worth it.

I love taking pictures of my own munchkin, but at age three he is kind of over the mom with a camera thing. A lot of what I’ve gotten recently at home is very candid shots which I accomplish by sneaking out the camera when he’s super involved in his playtime. I love capturing those every day moments, but sometimes I just want to dress him up and get some cutesy smile photos.

 

Anyway, I came armed with marshmallows for bribery but honestly I barely used them. Holden was totally being a ham that afternoon. I had my husband as a helper and he had the genius idea to make Holden’s stuffed animal make tooting noises. What is it with boys and farts?! Without the aid of the stuffed animal with flatulence I likely would have ended up mostly with photos like this:

 

This was a new location for me in Carrollton. I don’t often shoot on the Dallas county/Collin county side of the Dallas Ft. Worth Metroplex, so I am always searching for new locations in that area. I love the rustic look of this turn of the century homestead. They had a great surrounding property too with mature trees that (fingers crossed) will turn colors during the fall. I can see this place becoming a staple for me year-round, but I am especially excited to bring my October fall mini clients here.
