Diggers & Dirt - Mac's 3-year Photos

I am so excited to share these photos with you today.  For Mac's 3-year photo shoot, I knew I wanted to do something a little bit different.  Like any typical 3-year old that constantly has a camera shoved in his face by his obnoxious mother, he despises getting his picture taken these days.  I wanted to come up with something that he could do to distract him and occupy his attention while my amazing photographer, Kristie of L Photographie, took his picture.  As anyone that has met him knows, he's really into dirt, digging and tractors.  Kristie spent two months scouring the area and found us the most amazing location for a photo shoot -- on-site at the Bobcat St. Louis backlot, surrounded by diggers, dump trucks, dirt piles and so much mud!  

I knew we weren't going to get the cute happy smiling photos, but honestly, that's ok because that's not really Mac.  Mac is busy, active and wild.  Yes, he can also be goofy and silly, but he's a very strong-willed intense boy and I love that these photos really capture his personality.  They show how hard-working and determined he is.  They show his focus and moodiness and his love for the outdoors and dirt.  You can tell just by looking at these photos that he's curious, adventurous and all boy.  I love that we went a different route and found a way to make sure his personality shined through - 3 is a tough age, but it's so much fun.  I absolutely couldn't be any happier with the way these turned out!
