"Six Little Ducks that I once knew... [Boston: Littles Session]

Ever since my little's mom told me that she wanted to have her their session near the ducklings in the Public Garden I have been singing the "Six Little Ducks" song. I realize the statues are actually about the book Make Way for Ducklings,  but I couldn't help humming just the same. (Ducks beget Ducks, I suppose.) It turned out to be a lovely Wednesday morning at 8 am ("No," that time is not a typo :) ) and I spent the session running around with one of my favorite almost 2 year olds...and goodness can he run. We saw lots of dogs and live ducks and mom almost had a heart attack thinking her little was going to fall into the water. (truth be told, I thought a fall in the water would provide some great images, but I realize this isn't the way to "win friends and develop repeat clientele")
For as much as I try to have ideas in my head for certain images, with littles I can not always predict what will happen. Turns out, a few of the images I ended up capturing without realizing it made me laugh out loud when I actually saw them on the screen. I hope they make you smile too. The one with his cute head leaning on the duck is just begging for the caption: "Dear God, make me a bird! " Wait till you see it!



enjoy*

  2. These are so great! Any mom would give her right arm for photos like this of her child! My favorite was the one where he's face to face with the duck and eyeing her very suspiciously! It made me laugh out loud!!

  3. wow! What a cute and fun session! I love the one where your Little is riding the duck. I had to do a double take - I thought it was real (yes, I looked at the pictures before reading the post...) How great to be able to capture this sweet child at this moment in time! Hope the mom likes!
