And Just Like That
he grabs my heart and we lasso the sun.
The secret to taking thoughtful photographs of toddlers* might be flicking a lighter on and off above your head while you sing Happy Birthday. Like a muppet.
*No toddlers were harmed in the making of this blog post by lighters or muppets.

Just darling! What a delightful picture.

This photo just reminded me that I had a dream about BabyT last night. Weird, right? I don't even comment that often but I DO think your kiddos are super adorable. Anycreeps, I just remember that I was like, "Hey, that's BabyT and man, is he tall! TallT then?" Also he was hopping. Weirds.

He is a peanut, for sure.

Whew. I think I'm seeing the reflection of the lighter and not the G.H.O.S.T. on his precious face!
He's heartbreaking! In a good way!
Elaine A.
He's simply angelic!
(all the time, I'm sure…)
Great shot lady – you're so good.

Did you get that lighter from Zoe?
Looks like you shot that through a mirror using a skylight for natural lighting.
Singing Happy Birthday to a toddler when it isn't his birthday is awesome. Do you also tell people it's Happy Hour at midnight?
REALLY sweet picture.

Oh my god, lol we are too much alike when it comes to taking pictures, lol! I haven't tried the lighter yet. Just might have to do that!

Adorable pic! Great capture.
I can totally relate! My kiddos are literally a blur unless I can find something to distract them while I take a picture. Lighter, hum…never thought of that

That is a lovely, lovely shot. Love the sun flare.
