So, is 24 photos too many for one blog post? I’ll let you be the judge.

After showing Emily her family’s photos from our shoot a few weeks ago, she told me how she didn’t know how she was going to put 80 pictures up on her wall, but that she was going to try! I guess that means she was pleased! What I loved about our shoot the most, and what I think has shown itself well in these results is that Dave and Emily just wanted the boys to play. And play they did! Zayne, who is actually a frequent playmate of my nephew Wyatt, has SO much imagination. This kid could have been my assistant with all the photo suggestions he was giving me! He was so cooperative and wasn’t shy or afraid of the camera at all. Made my job a breeze! Cayden, on the other hand, made me earn my pay. This kid was full of life, full of energy and never stood still! In fact, I probably needed a telephoto lens to be able to zoom in to see this adorable ball of energy better. But when we caught up with him, and caught that sweet grin, boy oh boy – was it worth it!

I am always so pleased to be able to participate in a family photo session that accurately reflects the personality of the family. And I really think these photos reflect the Humptons well. I knew I could give Emily and Dave photos of the kids making hilarious faces because that’s who they are! Some of the bloopers in their bundle are frame-able!I hope you enjoy looking through these – ALL of these – as much as I did!

I think this shot was actually like the second one out of the camera – they were awesome right out of the gate!

Zayne trying to hold Cayden back. But we’ll call it brotherly love.

Zayne’s idea – “lets get in the tree and take a picture!”

Cayden’s idea – “chase me and I’ll try not to look at you!”

This progression was a little joke on Zayne. He was having fun throwing the leaves into the air and letting them fall on his head. But his dad, Dave, had a better idea – to throw a HUGE arm full of leaves on his head when he wasn’t expecting it. You should have heard the squeals!

This doesn’t do it justice how high he was throwing this kid! And he LOVED it!

If I couldn’t see his cute smile, I could always get this shot. I have a few of these from that day :)

Sweetness overload! above…and below.

Seriously. Cute.

“I’ll put my arms out like an airplane, ok?” GREAT idea, buddy!

Boys that love their mamma!

Thanks, Humptons! I had SUCH a great time with you guys! I may need to hire Zayne to come be the inspiration for my next photo session! :)
