I set up my tripod a little bit too late on this morning so I was afraid he would not want in any shots.
He sits with me every morning right when he wakes up.
It is pretty much the only time he is still all day…
I knew I could get lots of light in his face if I pointed out the sun rising over the trees.
We watched it peeking out of the clouds together.
I thought I would be able to get a shot with my oldest when he got up but he wanted to tell me a story instead.
It required acting it out.
He apparently got up just like a transformer this morning.
This is the reality of most of my shots.
Waiting for the boys to want to join me.
I do not force it, I just try to make it fun.
“Come here, I want to show you to see the sunrise peeking through the clouds!”
They see the camera so they know what I really want but thankfully they still indulge me.
Check out Emily at the Anderson crew for more inspiration to get in the shot.
Great shots. I love when photos tell your day to day life stories. What a great way to document these moments for when your boys are older.
Thank you! It is the highlight reel but I try!
These are such awesome shots. Love the lighting!
I love the mood in these, Danielle! You are very talented!
Love these… seeing him standing there to tell you a story. Letting your boys come to you and be themselves – that is wonderful.
Thank you! I find it the easiest way to get them to not mind all the pics I take 🙂
Sweet pictures. I love the lighting.
Thank you!
