My phone rang less than a minute after we’d finished our session and were headed home in our respective cars. It was his mom:

“I just called to let you know that right after I strapped him into his seat, he reversed his baseball hat, leaned back casually and said, ‘Awesome.’”

To which all I could do was smile from ear to ear.  Because three-year-old boys can be a tough crowd in this business and I know that one little “awesome” is about the best affirmation a photographer can get.

Oh yeah.  I think he’s pretty awesome, too.
