action-packed session | jasper, indiana children’s photographer

This session has been a long time in the making! These guys’ momma, Tara, first emailed me about a session for her 3 boys–ages 6, 4, and 3–early last year. I was sad to decline the opportunity, but knew a session with 3 little guys at those ages could be a real challenge for any photographer–especially one in her first year. I knew I would be doing no one any favors by committing to something I couldn’t guarantee the outcome of. Fortunately, Tara emailed me again this past Spring to schedule an October session for her 7, 5, and 4 year old boys! I replied “…at 7, 5, and 4 (plus 5 months come session time) we’ll be able to capture some gorgeous shots of them!” I had to laugh when she replied “I must confess, though, that I advanced the boys age to an October session (so you won’t get the plus 5 mos)!”
And, it’s a good thing we waited. This was my most action-packed session to date! I’m pretty sure these guys were in constant motion & going in opposite directions most of the time! They really kept me on my toes (and I figured out their momma’s secret to being so slender). In my opinion, the resulting images are the epitome of a lifestyle session–so full of life & joy!
First up, Abe. Seriously, does this guy look like he’s Hollywood bound, or what?
And may I introduce, Wes, the youngest & the life of the party. In nearly every single photo I took of him, he’s grinning from ear to ear or howling with laughter.
And Mr. Intellectual, Leo. Such a sweetheart and a joy to talk to! I half expected him to invite me to coffee sometime to continue our conversation. ;- )
But before any of the boys came along, there was a girl in the house: Crosley. I’m always happy to include the family pet in sessions, child(ren) and pet(s) willing. :- ) Tara, there will be a mouth-closed shot in your gallery, but this was my favorite because she looks like she is smiling:
And I’ll wrap up this sneak peek with photographic proof of some of the cutting up that transpired:
Tara, thanks for putting your faith in me & being persistent! I hope you’ll agree that these photos were worth the wait! More eye candy to come in your gallery!

Lacey…these are awesome! I’m still having a hard time getting full family shots in sharp focus. Are you still using the 85mm for these?
Looks like a great sessions….with three boys no less! There’s no denying that these three aren’t brothers. Boy, do they look alike! The catch lights in that first pics, my fave,….awesome! As for the last pics…quite the ham-sandwich!
I was going to type a bunch of words, but you know i’m not one for words. So really, I just have two words for this session….WELL DONE!
These are FULL of life, like you said. I love the colors. My fave is the b&w on the porch. I need to see more later though…
Thanks so much, ladies! Yes, Brooke, I shot this session with the D700 + 85mm 1.4
These are beyond gorgeous – all of them! Great job.
Beautiful and fun images! It might have been a workout photographing three boys, but your results are fabulous!
Those are so awesome awesome awesome!!!
