Just 3 years old, but so insightful and, true to form for any three year old boy, so inquisitive. We captured a host of great shots with mom and dad, too, but I’ll save those just in case they choose one for a holiday card.

And he couldn’t have been dressed more perfectly for these shots, complete with his “puppy” sidekick. We kept our vintage theme going when mom and dad pulled out his little red Radio Flyer tricycle. I’m pretty sure I let out a squeal of joy at one point when I caught a peek of an image we’d just taken on my camera. I had fun playing around with the bright colors, vintage textures and pure black and white design treatments.

Enjoy some of my all-time favorites below.
