typical toddler {Kansas City Child Photographer}
In between a medical appointment and taking A to church tonight…I set out on a quick mission. Get a few great “fallish” images of my little man. During his first year we did a mini session each month and I was kind of missing capturing him through the lens of my camera. Him…yeah. Not so much. It’s not like I haven’t photographed other toddlers. Why would mine be any different? In fact…while we were out we ran into my neighbor who actually said, “your poor kids…they never get a break from their photographer mother”. I’ve always assumed some day they would look back on those billions of photos (if I ever actually get them printed) and realize that I do this cause I love them. But maybe they won’t. Who knows…it isn’t gonna stop me though 
So our little session went something like this:
“Catch me if you can…I’m fast on these little legs. Wait…I hear a dog! Doggies say “Aaah, Aaah (he has a mind of his own on animal noises)”. Where is that doggie?
“Oh here it is. I’m sorry Mommy I can’t look at you right now even though you sure are making funny faces. This doggie is just great. Listen to him saying “Aaah, aaah!”
“Are you sure you want me to sit in that pile of BIG beautiful red leaves? I really prefer these nasty old dried up weeds. They look nice don’t you think?” And maybe I’ll hold up ONE finger cause I’m one now! That would be a nice touch wouldn’t it?”
“Really Mommy? They don’t look so bad. What if I sit like a big boy and charm you with my cute smile? Does that make it better?”
“OK OK. I’ll stand by these rocks. Oh look a “Cacker”! I love those things! Don’t eat it? What do you mean don’t eat it?
Hee Hee So truly I don’t know what I was thinking running around trying to get a few great shots of him by myself. I needed an assistant…he’s just too fast (and ornery) for me. But I DO love that last image. It’s a keeper for sure. And do you know what was the magic trick? The Dora theme song. Shameless I know. But he does love himself some DORA!!
Oh little man. How did you get SO SO BIG? He looks like a toddler doesn’t he? Admit it. He does.
He is SOOOO darn cute I could just squeeze him!! Love these images you have captured! Your photo skills are amazing! Great work!
He DOES look grown up **sniff, sniff** but he is one CUTIE PIE!!! Love the hair do too!
Oh my gosh – he IS getting SOOOO big! I remember him as a tiny, little peanut. The shots are beautiful though. Print them & enjoy them!
Jenn! I love his new “do”! Man he is cute! I promise, Ella and I will hop on a plane soon to play in KC!
OH MY! He is just so darn cute and getting so big! I can hardly believe it. His little outfit is adorable as usual.
And can I just say Lordy, Dora is Little R’s favorite too. “Doora” is the ONLY word he can say besides Daddy. LOL I seriously think our boys should have been best friends and would charm everyone with their sweet smiles, tear into everything and have a blast…. all at record speed too.
Mister R is too fast for me too. I can hardly photo him without an assistant. Boys are truly a handful. 
I love Little Mister S! He’s just the bees knees.
