a boy and his doggie

here is a shoot that i did just me and my little ty.

i have been trying to practice as much as i can on pretty days when i don't have to have all of my kids...

that is the first thing i learned this day.

it is a bazzilion times easier to have fun and be relaxed when i only have one child to deal with.

i guess i already knew that.

but this proved it again.

i also learned to NEVER forget to wear real closed shoes ( no peep-toe flats)

and to try and remember to make my kids do the same.

but.

on the other hand i kinda loved that ty was wearing two different color flips.

which he does everyday.

and that is so him.

i worked for a long time on getting his freckles in that one down there.

practice makes perfectly imperfect?

i am also getting more familiar with how to angle the sun with my new-ish lens.

it is actually a year old, but it has taken this long to feel like friends.

i also re-learned how great it is to have space with that lens.

i have to move my body way back to get as wide a photo as i want and i just can't do that everywhere.

location and space really matters with this camera/lens combo for me for now.

i seriously love this little fella.

he is the sweetest person.

he loved pretending to do a photo shoot of his own with his little doggie.

he is just so accommodating.

(it's harder to say that about the other two)

so we had fun and i learned a little more....
