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....

    I need to ask what lens you're using too.
    Do you mind sharing?
    Also, what do you use to edit your photos?
