I have been wanting to photograph my 3-year-old with his tricycle ever since he got it. It's one of those cute vintage Radio Flyers, complete with a silver bell. However, time has gone by and I still hadn't gotten around to actually doing a shoot with it. Today, though, I was inspired by another photographer's photo of a little girl on a trike, and I decided it was high time I got out there and took these pictures that are in my head! My boys and I drove up north of our place, where it is a bit more deserted and county-ish, and I found a patch of beautiful tall dry grasses (read: weeds) with the setting sun shining gloriously behind. Oh, it was perfect. The images in my head were to become a reality. =) I was also anxious to get home and work with textures (my new love) on these photos. It is a perfect combination. The light. The location. The tricycle. The textures. So vintage and sentimental.
I also brought along a little table that my grandparents got for us at a yard sale for $1.

And my one-year-old was wearing this sweater the other day, and I was thinking that I would really like to take his picture in it before he outgrows it, so I grabbed it on the way out the door today. I LOVE these photos. I think I may have to get one of them in a canvas.
Precious! Love the new techniques!
