baby you can drive my car

We took our little man out for a spur of the moment photo session a few nights ago to document him at TWO.   It was a serious miracle of God…we didn’t even start shooting until 8pm and he was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!  I took 189 shots of him and he is smiling in at least 188 of them.  Fortunately, Mr. P came along to get those giggles out and he makes the BEST assistant.  He knows how to do all the gross, dumb things that make little boys smile apparently ;)   My goal of the session was to get one great shot to print BIG for his new room.  But I got a billion that I love and now I’m in a bit of a quandary.  Can you help a girl out?  Which one is your fav?

When I loaded these onto my computer I was instantly SO mad that I didn’t dress him in more COLOR.  I love this little outfit…but a blue or orange polo would have really POPPED a lot more.  I always tell my clients “WEAR COLOR”…why don’t I listen to myself???  But I’m not going to chance it and try again.  He is too cute in these to bother with a wardrobe change!

This little car was a gift from Mimi and Baboo for his birthday {THANKS!!}  But I think it was more of a gift for ME…it makes the cutest prop!!

    The photographer in me LOVES the second one even though you can’t see his face. If you are wanting a full body picture…I think I love the first one. It just seems to capture his personality!

    Love your work!

  2. Adorable! My first choice is also the 2nd one, after that I love the one with the No Parking sign up top. Great job!

  3. Okay, hands down for me the 2nd one, the one of his little hands and legs on that adorable toy car!! Canvas – BIG! :)

    I love the first and the second one. I can see why you would have a tough time choosing which one to blow up big. They are all so adorable! Do you by chance know where the car was purchased from? I would love to get one. Great work with the photos.

    Stols – I love the one of him by the no parking sign with the big cheesy smile. He’s a cutie-pie!

  6. Nance   –  

    Love the 2nd one also! However, I would go with 4 or 5 for the room….he will like seeing himself on his wall…so cute!

  7. Angie   –  

    love those photos! Oh my goodness, so tough to choose! Do you mind if I ask where you got the shirt? I have been looking for one similar for my little guy for photos too–it looks like it would match a dress my daughter will wear!

  8. Stacy   –  

    Gosh, I can see why you’re having such a hard time choosing. He’s adorable is every single one! What about a great big storyboard?

  9. Diana   –  

    OMG! SO hard to choose, Jenn! But shot #4 – looking over shoulder with No Parking sign – I think that’s my FAVE! Great job, as always!

    They are all adorable! My fav is #2, but love seeing that cute face and smile in the last one! I think you’re gonna have to go for more than one!

    I don’t envy you the “job” of trying to pick ONE favorite! I love #2 b/c it captures the slightly pudgy legs and hands that seem to disappear all too quickly…plus those shoes are just too darn cute!!

  12. Lizbeth   –  

    they are all amazing! My favorite is the 3rd one down, it shows alot of his personality!

  13. Tammy Dinsmore   –  

    The first and second one…and the last one too b/c I love close ups of the face. He has such a great smile! And where can one find this car, I need one for my boy.

  14. Christine   –  

    To blow up for his room I’d go with the 2nd to last one, it’s adorable!

  15. lovelyn   –  

    i cannot help you…..SO stinkin’ cute!!!! i do love the 2nd one a lot, a lot, but i understand if you want that sweet smile [and hair!] in the picture!!

    My fav is the second one…his little chunky “kankles” are just tdf! But if you want his face, the one with the no parking sign or the last one….to blow it up.
