This is Finn.  He’s a big baby and pretty strong.  He’s like a little superman.  He can leap tall buildings in a single bound, or more accurately, he can hold his head up.  So, this was a fun shoot.  Usually infants don’t have much strength for their first portrait session, but because of Finn’s super natural strength, we were able to take some great infant portraits.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the portrait session.

This first shot makes me laugh.  The infant is one cool cat.

While Finn was grabbing a bite to eat in his trailer, we were setting the lights for his next portrait.  So Rex (dad) became his stand in.

Finn already plays a little football.  And although he is a bit wobbly, with a little help, he can also sit up.  So Casey and Rex (mom and dad) kept a hand on him to help stabilize him.  I loved the hands in the shot, so I told them not to worry about getting rid of their hands, the shot was so cute with their hands.

Don’t think of this as weakness.  He was practicing getting through the line.  He’s very serious about football.

He’s very serious.  Even when he is wearing a giant sock.

Congratulations Rex and Kacey and welcome to the world Finn.  You’re already a star!
