the fer family

This is what I learned:

Water = good & smiles

No water= bad & frowns

At least for the first 3/4 of the shoot.

There was a last minute change of venue from the family’s home to a nearby park. We started down at the water, and it all kinda went downhill from there- for a while anyway. All R wanted to do was to go into the water. Fully clothed. Fully in. And when we but the kabosh on that, he wasn’t pleased. When he got over it a little, he was running and tripped and bumped his head on the asphalt. You can imagine he was really upset and we were going to end the whole thing. But daddy wisely suggested we go back home and see if we could get anything there. So we headed home and the first thing R did was to play with his water table and kiddie pool. Well, it quickly went from playing around the outside of the pool, to standing in the pool, to sitting in the pool fully clothed and soaking wet. But once he got his fill of the pool, we were able to venture out into the yard (and even into the house) for a few other shots.

He’s a great little boy and had some sweet smiles and giant brown eyes. He just really REALLY likes the water. Thanks mom & dad for your patience. Hope you like the pictures, even if he is dressed and in the pool!
