Little Boys, Birthdays, Photos [Midlothian VA In home photography]

Little Boys, Birthdays, Photos

I met these little boys last year when one was to become a big brother for the first time. Oh my goodness, they are too sweet. Their momma is incredible. She holds the fort down solo most nights and does for each of her sons everything they could ever need.  I guess that’s why she looks so good…always on the run and eating between naps, nursings and changes.  It’s always a good time when I get to take photos of little boys at their birthdays, so it was no surprise that we all had a good time. The bonus of my job is not only do I love what I do, I get new friends out of the deal: WIN/WIN!  See you soon, Momma (Starbucks? Yes!)  Happy 4th birthday, and happy 1st birthday to both of your big boys!

In a dream…where did the year go?

Baby Boy 6 months Photo Shoot At Home

What do I do when I get a call to do a  baby boy 6 months photo shoot at home?  I leap with joy, and, well, here’s why!  Thank you so much for inviting me over to play.  Everything was so much fun and so enjoyable, and now, this new family for Tamara Henion Photography family has photos hanging on their walls that they’ll be proud to display for generations.  It makes me as happy for them as they are with them.  I love doing this so much!

Snowball Fight [My Story~Midlothian VA Photographer]

A Great Snowball Fight Indeed

Brothers.   Snowball fight. One winner. One not so much.

Enjoying another little snowfall here in Midlothian is much bigger a deal that it may seem to some. Some winters we don’t get any snow, and others we get pummeled.

This year, we are getting a little here and a little more there in pretty quick succession.

This week, we got a little more.

After 15 minutes of building a snowman alone, it was time for some action, and I saw it coming!

I peered from my dining room window as I watched my youngest do his best to get his brother’s attention away from shoveling the driveway and onto himself. He did-just as I knew he would.  Privately, I chuckled knowing he was going to get exactly what he was asking for.  Three-two-one!  And he’s on the snow covered ground yelling something about unfair.  Took me back to all the snowy winters in New York, Iowa, Delaware and Maryland growing up with my own brothers.  A great snowball fight indeed!

A Child’s Play [My Story]

A Child’s Play

We spent wasted quite a bit of money trying to find toys that our firstborn would want to play with. Aside from his collection of Hot Wheels cars, toys were pushed aside as he and his imagination took to the field.  Almost as soon as he could walk, he was skating…in the house he did circles downstairs for countless hours. It was only a side-trek because of bad weather and rules against throwing and hitting a baseball INside the house.  I guess rollerblades on the floor was the lesser of two evils.

Fast forward, eh’ slow forward, 10 years and his brother enters the world by storm. THIS boy’s imagination is beyond to the moon and back. If a child’s play is his work, my little big guy has been working endlessly day in and day out for years.  And those toys that #1 son didn’t want? We saved them, and I’m so glad we did. There’s nothing like watching a child’s play imagination taking over the world (and the house!).  The tough thing is when it’s time to purge toys, I pick up one after another and have to admit that it still gets played with.  He LOVES to play, and  I am so ok with that!

You never know where they’ll be next, but it’s certain that they will.
