Spring is here.

And guess what?

That means I can shoot outside!! YAY! :)

And that means I can shoot little cute baby boys outside too.

YAY!! :)

Does this remind you of anything...?

Here, he's 9 months....

Here he's newborn.

Sometimes I get nervous before I shoot.

"What if he doesn't smile for me?"

"What if the light isn't beautiful?"

"What if I can't get him to snuggle with his daddy?"

"What if he starts crying with mommy?"

"What if he doesn't like the grass?"

"What if he crawls away from me?"

"All the time...?"

My nerves usually go away....

After I see those.

Those eyes.

I dislike photographing kids that always behave.

Don't make your child say, "Cheese!!" all the time.

Give me a kid that can't stop giggling because he's goofing off.

The kids that tell secrets.

Then I can capture them.

Their personalities.

Because really....

What do you want to remember in 10 years?

A cheesy, pasted on smile?

Or his heart-melting eyes?
