We photographed the Barrow family portrait in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana.  I love the textures of that city, everywhere you turn is a visual feast.  Their son is a little ball of energy and curiosity who never sits still, so we were on the go from start to finish, so it put us in a lot of different places throughout the portrait session.  When you have a portrait session with a child who wants to investigate everything and be on the move, you can’t fight it, you just have to go along for the ride.  So we did.

Yes, that is a tumbleweed bat and a stick ball.  That is true pioneer style baseball.
