Portraits of my children

by Ashley filed under Hooper, Photography, Van

I opted to photograph Willy for the 52 week project this year for a lot of reasons. For one, men are often neglected in the baby blog world. I wanted to pay tribute to Willy and all he represents. Additionally, I photograph my children endlessly. I have more than a portrait a week to share of each of them and dedicating an additional post each week seemed redundant. In any event, these are some portraits of my little guys from the past few weeks that I wanted to share. Find yourself wondering if our children are ever in clothes? The answer is sometimes, but more often than not, rarely (less laundry). And yes, we tucked Hooper’s tank into his undies and then we giggled about it. And his little bird legs? They kill me too. Just like his Papa.

Hooper leading his Papa // Van staring at food he longs to try, while Hoop piddle paddles around with it // A lunch date with my first little love, ending with a 75 cent ride (what a cheap date) // Brothers, always and forever, yo // Hooper leading Sarah// Hooper sitting at the table // Van sitting on the table // Wiping away snot. We’ve done a lot of this over the past few weeks // Van, always reaching for his Mama when he’s in his Papa’s arms // An outtake from week 10 of my 52 week project (same ears, no?).

Happy Friday, ya’ll.
