He was blowing "raspberries" and drooling, rock'n little hats and learning to walk!
Now a days you will find him dribbling... a soccer ball and running to the goal! He is definitely not a baby any longer - but he is definitely STILL REALLY cute!
Tommy is one of our "Where are they Now" participants. When his mom contacted me to be involved in this project I was thrilled! He was one of our baby planners and I got to see him every 4 months his first year of life! They change so much in that first year! But the changes he has made in the past 9 YEARS was pretty fun to see as well!
They brought one of their favorite portraits from his last session we did so that we could really see him "Then and Now"! I Love this so much! It is safe to say that I would definitely not recognize him if I had seen him on the soccer field!
In talking with him and his mom before the actual portrait session began I learned a bit more about Tommy and who he is now. It seemed only natural after finding out his love of soccer that he wear his soccer clothes and bring his ball for this session! At this young age he is very passionate about soccer, he is kind of a serious kid, he has some one liners that make you crack up, but he is dry and he is a COOL kid! (keep in mind, he is not a model, but holy cow! He could be!) :)
My goal for this session was to show who this boy is in his images. I think it is safe to say we did just that in these images! His mom loved ALL of them because this is how she sees him on a daily basis. But, I can also say that when she looks back on them 9 more years from now, or 20 years from now, and that THIS is who he was at this time and that she will treasure them forever! We think we will remember all the little details of our children. The truth is (and I can say this as a mom) many of them we will remember, but there are some things that we wont. But if we have photographs of those things it will jog our memory 20 years from now and we will smile remembering once again.
I can't wait to see what the next few years bring for him and his goals and hope that I will be able to capture it once again as part of his childhood story!
If you want to have special timeless portraits created of your own children and/or tweens please contact me I would love to create something original for you too!
In Light and Love,
