All photos in this post by Bonnie King Photography
I’ve had the good fortune to be part of the lives of 2 adorable little boys. Let’s just call them my nephews. These boys are fun, silly, and most entertaining. Before they were born last year, I knit up *nearly* matching Buzzbee hats for them. I spun the yarn (Becoming Art Adventurous Fiber Club) used for the colorful bubbly band portion of the hat. Then, I used a commercial yarn to knit up the crowns and earflaps. These hats have stood the test of baby drool, chewing, being ripped off by baby hands, tossed about, and generally put through the normal rigors of life with babies. The best part? They still look great! No pilling, no dirty look, nada.
The photos shown here are part of whole year of photos @ 1 / month service that the twins parents got as a gift. What parent wouldn’t be delighted by professional photos each month of the first year of your child’s life? The photographer is Bonnie King. She takes beautiful shots of people in all walks andages of life . I was asked to help with the Valentine photo shoot because the twins Poppa had to attend to the family business. Oh boys! They kept momma and me hoppin the entire photo shoot. We’d barely get one to hold still long enough for 1 photo and they’d take off drooling and crawling. I was exhausted at the end of the shoot and can only imagine what daily life is like trying to keep up with these boys. Oye vey!
Watching Bonnie work was just great fun! I’m amazed at how well organized she was and how many different props and ideas she had for just a couple hours of photos. There were at least 4 settings. Plus, she captured the boys personalities in many amazing and wonderful ways. I’m sure you’ve seen a photo of someone before meeting them, then when you met them in person, you thought, “That’s not how I imagined you.” Well, if that has happened to you, then you know how much of an art it is to capture someone’s personality in a single shot. Bonnie, does that so beautifully. If you’re looking to have any photo work done and are in the south Puget Sound area, I highly recommend looking her up.
Ok, I gotta boast on 2 accounts. Aren’t those boys adorable?! And didn’t the hats turn out great? Bonnie’s photo of of them on is just precious to me! Makes me wanna go pick them up and snuggle each one of them until they start giggling.
