A Minion and a Train Conductor {Hendersonville, TN Child Photographer}

Hendersonville, TN Child Photographer | After almost a year after my last blog post, I’m finally back!  The boys are now 3.5 years and 21 months old, and are the best of friends.  This year was their first official year of trick or treating on Halloween, and they had a blast!  Grayson led the way through our neighborhood, saying “This way!” as he would direct us to the next house on our street.  Oliver trailed behind saying “More teetee (candy)!”  Thankfully, even though the weather forecasted rain all night, it stopped long enough for us to trick or treat around our entire neighborhood.  Needless to say, we had some very happy (and hyper) boys after collecting all that candy — of which I’m still trying to keep hidden.

A couple days before Halloween, I decided to take the boys to the park and do a mini photo shoot in their costumes.  Grayson wanted to be a minion (Despicable Me) and Oliver loves trains, so I decided that he would be a train conductor.  I made Grayson’s hat, and found his minion jacket at Kohl’s, which worked out perfectly!  You can find Oliver’s train conductor costume on Amazon.  So without further ado, here are some of the photos from their costume photo shoot.

Smile For Mommy

The other day, the sun was in the perfect spot in our backyard to take some photos of my boys.  Of course Oliver was the perfect model and looked at the camera and smiled, or at least looked pleasant.  Grayson, on the other hand, was another story….as you will see.

This is how it typically goes whenever I try to take nice pictures of Grayson.

Me: “Hey, Grayson!”

“Can you smile for Mommy, or do you want to blow some bubbles?”

Grayson: “Buppmmmm!!” (bubble!)

Then he made several attempts at blowing bubbles.

But this was how he was blowing.  Probably not going to get the best results when your mouth is only open a tiny slit.

“Look I got some bubbles on my hand!” (Or at least I think that’s what he would say if he could talk.)

“Eww!  It’s so slimy!!!”

“Let me try again.  Maybe if I close my eyes it’ll help.”

“Ok, it’s not working.  I’m gonna go play with my car!”

“Grayson, can we take a quick picture now?”

“Seriously?”

“Ok, you get one smile, but it’s only going to be for a split second, so you better have a quick trigger finger.  Oh, and I’m also not going to stand with the pretty sun in the background.”

“Thanks ok, my darling.  I’ll take what I can get!”

And here’s my other photogenic son, who hasn’t yet gotten tired of having my camera in his face.

First pictures

mega millions

I was able to visit with my beautiful nephews a few weeks ago in Newport Beach, CA and took some cute shots of them playing around on the putting green  and swimming in the pool.  Charlie, age 5, is the older of the two boys, and Max, age 3, loves to do everything his older brother does.

 

Golfing on the resort putting green was fun.

 

Max loved splashing in the pool.
