Mr. Payton and His Mamma

Well,  once in a while (it seems like a lot lately), I have an adorable little one come in to my studio and melt my heart.  Then, there is always the RED HEAD factor, which I am a huge softy for.  Mr. Payton comes in the door with his BEAUTIFUL Mamma and I knew my job would be easy that day.  Okay maybe not EASY because he was a busy little three year old.  So, at that point you go from Photographer to Baseball Player, Bubble Blower, Tackler,  Chaser and Tickler.  

I had a blast photographing Payton and hanging out with him.  His mom was so very cool and has been trying to get into the studio for a while now.  I even made her get in the pictures and I photographed her all by herself which she certainly was not planning for but she will be grateful for it someday. 

Again, awesome planning for his outfits (Go to Gap.com),  and letting me do my thing led to some great shots that I absolutely adore.    Erica, thank you for giving me the time and space to work with your little prize possession.  I can totally see why you think he is so beautiful.  I am not kidding either.  I think he should be on the GAP ads for SURE. 

Enjoy!
