What is more All American than Baseball?

Baseball, Boys and Freckles!


Who knew who this little guy would be doing now 7 1/2 years ago? 


Back then he was was barely standing on his own and learning to walk.  Now he can run, and catch, and hit and throw... and help his team win the AA Championship for his town this year!   Since this only happened about 2 weeks ago he was still pretty excited about it when he came in for his portrait session.  So, of course we had to include some images of him in his baseball uniform!  

(This was James at his 9 month session.)

But this is James today!  Just look how he has grown and changed... and become an amazing baseball player! 

We all know how quickly they grow in the first year! And, even though they things slow down the older they get and you don't see the changes quite so quickly as month to month, there are many changes year to year.  

While I am a believer in having school "pictures" each year to record the year to year changes (and to share with the grandparents).  I think it is equally important to have a true professional "portrait"

made every 1-2 years. 

A Picture is describes as "a painting, drawing, or photograph of someone or something"

A Portrait (or portraiture) is described as

"Photography of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject. Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is usually the person's face, although the entire body and the background or context may be included".

Let me add that to me a beautiful portrait captures not only the physical changes but also the personality and expression (as stated above) of your child at that age for years to come.  

Even though James' expression here is thoughtful I feel it is a great expression of one side of him.  While the image below with his sisters expresses a different side of him when he is with them! 

I personally love them both but as you can see they are both really different.  He is a really fun kid full of a personality and spunk and I think we totally captured him!
