I Learned...

I learned a few things this week:

1. I love shooting in the lane behind our house!
2. Don't try and do a shoot with a 2 year old where they can still see the trampoline "I jump Mummy, I jump!"
3. Be patient and wait for the light to be perfect! I tried taking some photos mid morning because I was worried the balloons would go down (they were from William's Caillou party the day before) (FYI they're still going strong 6 days later haha!) but the light was too harsh so we tried again as the sun was going down, bingo!

I adore this photo of my little man! The light, the look on his face, his crazy wavy hair, his little outfit (free from the red jelly he got all over it at his party!) the weird red fireball looking sun flare near his toes , I just love it :)

I'll be sharing the rest of these balloon photos soon, along with the photos from his actual birthday, I'm just swamped!

    Such a great lesson, and SUCH a great photo!

    On a side note, can we talk about your son's hair? LOL! I love the curls, and we haven't cut our lil man's hair yet because I am afraid his won't come back. Surely if your's is 2 he has had a haircut, right? I need some baby stylist guidance, haha.
