One of the Sweetest Sounds

...is that of a child laughing. One of the sweetest images captured...is the expression of joy on a child's face. For those of you reading that have children or that are around them often enough, you know what I'm talking about.
I spent a few hours yesterday and today with my son (of course) and my nephew (who is a walking giggle...literally.)
I have been "eyeing" a section of the county courthouse for a few weeks now, so yesterday I loaded up the boys. (to act as my "models") If I'm lucky, I can get about five minutes of "serious" behavior out of them, and then all I can do is let them get crazy and hope they're still "photogenic."


I think our day (session) on the courthouse steps went pretty well!

Today there was a break in the rain, so I took them to a few local parks. (I was kind of enjoying the more natural expressions, so I figured what better place to take them than to the park?!)




I learned something this weekend. When it comes to photographing kids, the best and most enjoyable shots are discovered when you just let them be kids.
