My boys | Tyler, Texas Children’s Photographer

A few quick shots of my own two little stinkers being, well… um, stinkers.  I’d be lying if I said that shoots with the boys aren’t totally insane.

Cause they are.

Since I’ve always encouraged them to have fun while they are being photographed, they have kind of taken that to a new extreme.  It’s like they know they won’t have another opportunity to totally act like fools and be rewarded for it.  So, they take advantage of it.  And as the insanity level climbs, so does the noise level.  We get laughing, silly faces, funny phrases (in my house anything that involved the words “poo-poo” or “tee-tee” is hilarious), running around, falling down, etc.  The whole time my husband is trying to *discourage* it, while I am trying to *encourage* it.  By the time we are done, we’re all exhausted and my husband (bless his soul) dejectedly asks me if I was able “to get anything”. 

So, that being said, here are a few of my favorites from a typically insane session with the boys at the studio…

So yes, it was crazy.  Yes, we were tired.  But truly, it’s oh-so-worth-it to be able to get images that truly “grab” who they are, right now.  Stinkers or not!

Until next time,

Tammy
