For those of you who are new to these parts, this past June I launched a little passion of mine. It's called little joys. photography and it allows me to do more of what I love. Capture your life's little joys. Recently, little joys. and I have been partnering with various retail companies for vendor shoots. This means companies will send me (ahem, Carter) clothes and accessories in exchange for professionally edited pictures for them to use for marketing/sales. Really, it's a win-win and I'm so happy to have connected with so many amazing companies in doing so.
Yesterday's session was a little different. An incredible smocking company from Asheville, North Carolina reached out me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing a children's garment on my blog. Was The Toddler born a man-child? Heck yes, I'll review your adorable children's clothing! And as soon as the garment arrived, I set out to capture Carter wearing his new threads.
I attempted to capture these photos after a morning FULL of "modeling" various t-shirts and shorts for an upcoming vendor's Facebook auction. Needless to say, I may or may not have pushed my limits. What do you think?

ReplyDelete"I'm going to get you for this outfit in 20 years!" "I'd better NOT see this at my wedding!"
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be the cutest, most hysterical picture I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteTo me it looks like, "Grrr... I am one step away from telling this woman where she can put that camera!".
"Mom, did you not get the memo? We live NORTH of the Mason Dixon line. All the kids are laughing at me because they have never heard of a john john. If we don't move South where they get it I am going to poke my eyeballs out."
ReplyDeleteClarification - I am only teasing with my caption, but I couldn't help it!
"You're blinding me with that camera, Ma! Keep it up and I'mma gonna need an eye patch and parrot."
ReplyDeleteAnd you could add toyhe end of that "Where's me snack, arggh, matey!"
That is an adorable picture by the way!
See, I think he is wise beyond his years. He's thinking much deeper thoughts...
ReplyDeleteHe's all "WHEN are we gonna pass a national ban on texting and driving?!"
'ah shit.... There she goes, back in the kitchen again. I've never seen this woman eat like this! You okay Mama?? Pa-leaaase save me Something in there!'
ReplyDelete* please know I am totally kidding but couldn't help based on your 'eating post' the other day! Adorable pic!!!!
"but mom, seriously?? the natural light in here is PERFECT. let's do this."
ReplyDelete"I'm go to be a what? Big brother?? You say that like it is a good thing!"
ReplyDeleteUgh, its so exhausting working with amatures. Shes been a photographer for 7 months and Ive obv been a male model my whole life. Someone call my agent.
ReplyDeleteI wish I wasn't so tired ... then maybe I'd be able to think of something somewhat witty to say. But alas, I do not.
ReplyDelete"Ugh she is going to KILL me when she finds out where I hid the chocolate. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?"
ReplyDelete"Doh, A baby brother?!?"
ReplyDelete"Ugh, moooommmmm... not ANOTHER picture?!"
ReplyDeleteHe knocked you up AGAIN?! Oh brother!
ReplyDelete"Ma. You press the button, take the picture, move on. Why is this taking so long?"
ReplyDelete^inspired by the fact that my father shot family pictures with a camera from the 1970s until about halfway through my teens, took about five million pictures of just one pose, and had to fiddle with the light meter and focus between every. single. take.
Moooooooom, you forgot my shirt again!
ReplyDeleteGeez Mom...I am pretty sure there is a lot more to life than being really, really ridiculously good looking. And i plan on finding out what that is.
ReplyDeleteSo freaking cute! He's thinking.. "oh, here she comes with that camera again.. hurry! Hide!"
ReplyDeletexoxo.
