Caution - Boys at Play! Healdsburg Child Photographer

Yesterday I was in heaven - I spent the morning playing with two adorable lil' boys.  Well, let me rephrase that - I wasn't quite able to play with all the toys - but I was able to capture their playtime with my camera.  :) These two youngins' are all B-O-Y.  Rocketship and spaceship? Check.  Planes/Train/Automobiles? Check. Toy Story/Woody/BuzzLightyear fans? Check.   

This session was especially fun because it was relaxed and the goal was to capture the 'real' moments between two best friends.  I wasn't concerned about lighting, props or poses (because honestly - with that many fun toys laying around it took a miracle to get one of them to actually look at the camera!)  And I think the results turned out great - real moments from real memories that these boys mom's will treasure.

My husband walked into my office while I was editing this photo and we agreed that this image really makes me think of childhood.  Don't you remember that moment of pure excitement from being pushed on a swing with your head tilted back looking up at the sky?  I remember it like it was just yesterday.

And of course - we had a little unprovoked goofy-ness too :)

This little heart-breaker is Tyler - you might remember him from his from family session with Melissa Morelli Photography back in January.  He is adorable.  Full of life, but such a sweetheart at the same time.  He is quite the entertainer and he loves his mama so much.  Their relationship is just heart-melting to watch - and so are his eyes.  Sigh.

And this is my new little buddy Owen - he reminds me of what I picture my husband like as a child.  Very observant and methodical and easily persuaded by any sort of toy with wheels on it :)  Owen is going to be a big brother in November - one cute shot of him (that isn't on the blog) shows him pointing out of the playhouse - I asked him to point where his little sister was and he was so excited to show her off.  Just adorable.  

 Owen has gorgeous eye lashes - I completely agree with his mom when wondering why that always seems to happen to the boys!?!

Back to playin....

The following picture makes me laugh...we were talking with Tyler about 'the noise' made when changing the tires on cars.  You can completely see him making 'the noise' here :)

Tyler and Owen - thank you so much for being such great boys yesterday morning.  I can tell that you two have so much fun together - I was impressed at how well you shared toys and cleaned up when it was time for lunchtime.  Keep up the good work!  Your mom's love you both very much and they are so proud of the little men that you are growing up to be.  I hope that you both continue playing together for years to come and that these images will bring back glimpses of your childhood playdates.  

Tyler and Owen's Mom's - thank you for the opportunity to hang out with each of you - I had a great time!  You are both wonderful, beautiful, strong women - and I left yesterday a smarter better person from your presence.  Enjoy the second sneak peek of images - your complete gallery will be ready in a few days.  xoxo
