(I used PW's 'colourised' action on these, plus my own monkeying around on photoshop. I've just attached thumbnails because there are so many, but if anyone is curious to see how the new 35mm 1.4 is performing Im happy to attach a larger file :) ).
(a friend remarked that he looked like he was weeing against the wall. Perhaps I shouldve recomposed this one!).
I love these because they were taken where I grew up, so I wanted a retroish feel. We used to live pretty much opposite this exact spot. My feet have pounded this pavement hundreds of times. I love it that I can get pictures of my own kids in my own childhood haunts.
(I used PWs seventies action, as well as a texture from CoffeeShop, and some more photoshop monkeying).
When we got home I felt slightly sad realising how big he is now...and later that night he curled up on the couch and reminded me that he's my little baby afterall.

oh!!!!
I love them all!
Such a great idea! If you don't mind, I may just have to get my lil guy out with his skateboard, we'd gotten him a lil one for Christmas that I've never done any photos with.
I LOVE the shadow one! My favorite for sure! Great captures!
He is soooo stinkin cute!!!
What is it about Mama's and there little boys? I think about my baby boys growin up and it about kills me!
Adorable shoot. I love that it has sentimental meaning as well...that's why I always shoot my kids at my parents'...makes it even more special.
:)
Shelby- Thanks so much! I think the shadow one is one of my favs. Mind you taking photos of your boy with his 'board? I would love to see that! I love your pictures.
I am seriously so inspired and impressed by both of your photography!
Terah- He's really not that cute. I love him to bits but I think I see him whine and be stubborn so much that I have difficulty finding him 'cute'. lol. Is that horrible to say or what? Yes...the sentimental shots are always the ones closest to my heart. I do feel slightly guilty our kids arent romping the nth Idaho woods so Jack can say the same.
If I let myself go I can feel a rising up of emotion as though the world is coming to an end- at the thought of our kids growing up. Which is just ridiculous. Because we know that a) they will grow up (God willing) and b) the world is coming to an end- at least as we know it. Hrmm.
How stinkin' adorable! You did a great job! Love the graffiti, the cap, and the skateboard... Perfect!
Awwwwwwww
What a little punk! In a good way of course. Be still my beating heart. I think I'm smitten. He's nearly as cute as my own two little rascals. ;)
I wish I were a photographer. I wish I were a photographer. I wish...it's not working.
I don't think I could choose a favorite.
I know what you mean about feeling guilty that your kiddos don't get to romp in our "neck of the woods" because I feel the same. I've lived here since I was Rowan's age. Jay grew up in Vermont, and the whole rest of the U.S. But mostly Vermont. And Arizona when he was older. Thankfully we do get to go to Arizona for about a week every winter, but still...
And I can hardly breathe when I think of my kiddos growing up and moving on. Can it be that they will not be babies forever? I am especially sad about Adam because I didn't realize how fast the time would go and I did not enjoy him enough in the beginning, always wanting him to progress to the next stage. But now, now I see that they progress much too quickly and I try to enjoy them just where they are.
Yes, Shelby, please do skateboard pics of Preston! =)
