I have know this hot mama since I was about 6 years old. We became summertime friends. She lived in Utah but would spend her summers at her dad’s house which happened to be right across the street from my house. When she was a teenager, she spent a couple of school years in California and we became more than just summertime friends. As we reached adulthood, we lost touch. Not for long though, thanks to good ol’ Facebook. When I am with her, I feel like she is the same person I used to play with. It made this session extra fun. Their son Mr. H was a crack up. We had to work a little to engage him and kept saying that we found a cool bug. He was so excited, but quickly caught on. Such a sweet boy and I am writing this knowing how sweet he is with his new baby sister…although, he wasn’t interested in proving that too much during their newborn session (blog post coming soon) but he did give her lots of kisses when we only asked for one.

The shoot just consisted of taking a stroll around this park. It was a beautiful evening and Mr. H was having fun. The last image is an outtake more or less. I just love it. It’s mama negotiating with her son and asking for just one more picture. He didn’t go for it, but he did do an amazing job of  lasting the whole hour without any complaints.

When I shot this image, I noticed his nails were painted. He then allowed me to get a fingernail shot. Love it!
