Best way to photograph an adorable 2 1/2 year old little boy...let him grab his trike ....

And let him lead the way! 

Let him be the star of the evening and show you all his tricks.

Let him climb and test his limits...

With his gorgeous mama right there by his side. 

And letting him lead the way means when mama grabs him where the light is gorgeous you get a few moments like these. 

And you capture all his looks, smirks, and smiles.  Some that only his mama knows are "Grant".

Let him laugh....

and explore. 

Quiet moments ...

and moments where you can see the joy he feels when swinging with his mama. 

To try and forever freeze his now you capture him and all his little boy moments.  Like finding treasures (pennies) and putting them in his pocket.

Capture the boy, his bike, his skinned knee, and little bruised toes.

And you show his mama how their ordinary is quite extraordinary.  Filled with so much joy.  

I am a sucker for mamas getting in front of the camera.  And I don't think they ever regret booking sessions so that someday when their kiddos look through pictures they see their mama.  What a fun evening Sarah.  It was so good to meet you!
