My guy Riley

I adore him.    I’ve been photographing Riley for a long time.  I am quite sure one of my favorite images of him I took in my living room.  Yikes, that was forever ago.  He is getting big on both me and his momma!

I love his eyes, his lips, his laugh and his ability to model for me.  I even love the little bit of milk mustache that I can see in this image when I am really close.  Mom might not like it but I think as grown up as Riley seems, the milk reminds me what a sweet little boy he still is.

I shot this pic in one of my favorite spots.  People look at me like I’ve lost it…. maybe I have.    Sweet Lisa S, if you are reading this, go look at all those squares on your wall and you’ll know it too.   I think of you every time I stand there.

Riley has done something very special for me since he was a little guy.   I asked to see it again knowing that would be my Halloween post.  It is gross and you’ll have to stay tuned.

Here is my guy….

    Yes, I know the place :)…my wall of squares is the best part of our home! When I tell people where the kids are standing they are amazed that it could capture so much of each little personality! I quickly remind them that it is your “little eye” that sees the potential in places we don’t have the gift to see. :)
    And speaking of eyes… Riley has an amazing set… so sweet and kind…

    Amy..you have NO idea what a part of our lives you have become. For some years now, you have the ability to make a true boy by all accounts become a boy who is willing to pose and do about ANYTHING for you so that you can get the shot!!! And ohh, what shots you have gotten!!! I am both honored and privileged every year to have you chronicle my little boys’ life through your eyes. You are amazing!!! Thank you soooo much!!!
