I love being able to watch my clients’ children grow up in front of my camera. They go from wide-eyed toddlers to young people with their own ideas and passions for sports, music, and a host of other things. These two guys are a couple of my favorites to photograph. They’re happy, and extremely outgoing, every time I see them – and they love their sports!
The first time I took sports portraits of them was about three years ago. It was a surprise gift for their dad. Mom brought them to the studio with a car load of dad’s high school football equipment and his Letterman’s Jacket. The idea was to use their dad’s beloved sports gear as props with his kids. The guys had a blast, and the gift was a huge success.
Now, these two have a new baby sister. After the traditional family portraits were taken, my buddies pulled out their own jerseys! Their passion is hockey, with a little bit of football mixed in. I look forward to watching these two, and their sister, grow into true athletes. I also look forward to documenting some successful careers!
The photographs on the left were taken in March of 2010. The one’s on the right were done November 2013.
So, if you ever wonder what to get Dad for his birthday, you can never go wrong with pictures of his kids.
