A friend of mine saw some pictures I had taken at home of our littlest and asked me to take some pictures of her little boy. At first the thought of it was kind of stressful! It's one thing to take pictures of your own kids, but completely another to take some for friend. Not to mention the fact that I don't even know how to take pictures! I literally point the camera and shoot, my photography knowledge stops after that. Aaagh! Talk about pressure...

At the beginning things were a little nerve-wracking. Carter wasn't too sure of his new environment and wouldn't let Sarah put him down. I think we both were unsure of what to do... but after we got the kinks worked out, it was actually really fun! Here are a few of my favorites...

I absolutely love this pic with the bubble on his head! I had his mom blow a bunch of bubbles to keep him side-tracked, and it just sorta happened. The look on his face is priceless... =0)



Another one of my favorites. I almost deleted it, because I couldn't see their faces very well, but when I caught sight of their hands, I knew it was a keeper. Gotta love cropping!



Isn't he a cutie? There are so many more, but I'm running short on time. Just wanted to send some encouragement out to any of you that have cringed at paying way more than you expected at a studio. Try it at home. Grab a white sheet, some toys from the toy box, (even a fishbowl will do!) and go for it! You might just be surprised.
