“So long, boys! I’ll send you a postcard from Paradise Falls!”
There's something magical about childhood. You're who you want to be. Anything is possible.
I first met L when was 6 months old. Since then, I’ve been photographing him a few times per year. You may have seen him on the blog before, as Mom and I have tried locations inside the 610 loop such as Herman Park or the Energy Corridor, like Terry Hershey Park.
Who is Lucien? He is a spunky toddler who is both adorable and inquisitive. Like most little boys, he enjoys exploring and often keeping me on my toes during the session. That’s okay – it’s important to let the little one be who they are, so for his sessions we always pick an open area with lots of room for him to run. You could certainly say little ones keep me in shape since I’m often running after them, ha! Anyway, L’s favorite movie is “Up”. If you’re not familiar with it, the premise is simple. Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), a 78-year-old balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness. But curmudgeonly Carl's worst nightmare comes true when he discovers a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard the balloon-powered house.
This in mind, Mom and I worked together to come up with an array of props to preserve L’s favorite childhood movie. We thought of many details from objects that are special to Carl, to the balloons and basket, airplanes, vintage suitcases, the mailbox he and his wife create, their pet dog, the jar they use to save funds, their adventure book. And perhaps that’s why this session was so lovely is because Carl embraces the spirit of adventure…just like Lucian. When you’re a toddler, everything is an adventure. The world is a big place!
I'd love to photograph your sweet little one and capture their spirit of adventure!
