I have a 9-5 job in a studio shooting for a clothing company and I have my business for myself doing the fun stuff, kids and families. Sometimes I forget to take photos just for fun! While I've been home on maternity leave I've had the pleasure of spending so much time with my 2yr old that I will always treasure. While we've been home I've been very busy trying to keep him busy, so I've rediscovered the fun of photography just for fun's sake! I've put my little point and shoot in the hands of my son and let him go crazy and together during craft time we came up with a great project, photographing his favorite toys! I had him doing an art project first, I put finger paints in a ziplock back and let him squish the paints around, then taped that up to the sliding glass door to let lots of light through. This was our backdrop. Then I let him pick out which guys he wanted to photograph and in which groupings, this is what we came up with. It was a lot of fun, and he got to take some photos himself, though most of those were of his batman pajama pants...

After they were edited, I got them printed and mounted on foam core to hang in his room right at his height. He was so excited and proud, it was a great successful project and fun with photography!
