Aidan's 5 Year Portraits

Yesterday, my lil man turned 5 and it breaks my heart every time I say that I have a 5 yr old.

Today, a day later, I decide to do some photos of my newly turned 5 yr old.

First he didn't want to get out of his Iron Man pajama pants to get dressed in the outfit I wanted him in but when I got him changed, he decided to roll on the floor. But eventually he made his way onto the studio flooring. Then he gave me the "I'm miserable" look. But eventually I got some that looked decent enough to frame.

Alexander-9 months Old

If you remember, I did a friend of mine's baby shower photos back in July last year. I was finally able to see her baby boy for the first time today as well as take his photos. He was a very active little man as well as very happy when mommy made him laugh.

When I first met Alexander, I was greeted by getting to hold him and then just a few seconds later he spit up on me. It was no big deal as I have been there done that with my own kid so I was not upset one bit. Clothes can be wiped and washed!

Here is a teaser photo of Alexander laughing at his mommy. The back story is that his mom went outside the house and stood in front of the windows I was shooting near. She would in turn make silly faces and funny noises to get him to smile or laugh. He is not quite looking at the camera but in my mind, that doesn't matter as it is capturing his personality!

Recent Photos of Aidan

I am trying to take photos of my son every month (when he allows me too) and these are the most recent from this month.
I was always trying out new lighting techniques with my new softbox and a different lens.
