Mommy & Me Painting Session with Kim & Morgan
Best Friends Mommy and Me Painting Afternoon with Kim and Morgan
Who says you have to do traditional photos with your son?
Kim and Morgan invited me over for a colorful afternoon of painting with their toddlers. I absolutely loved the idea of a best friends shoot, and I adored that they both wanted to include their sons who are best friends as well. We set up a beautiful canvas and placed several props centered around art and painting on the sides. But the absolute true master piece that came out of the shoot, were the paint splattered faces of the moms and their sons.
This has definitely been one of the more innovative family shoots that I have participated in. And it was so easy to catch candid moments between each mom and son duo. Nothing had to be staged, the moms were just showing the boys how to paint and allowing them to be themselves and do their own things. There definitely were a couple shots where both boys looked clueless as their moms stood behind me, encouraging them to interact on their own. But otherwise, it was a great way to pay homage to the beautiful bond they all share.
