Ezra Two Month Preview

Earlier this week I got to work with the adorable Ezra again.  He and mommy Kim came to my house for the session (can I just say how much I love the southern exposure I get in my living room?).  At first, Ezra seemed pretty wary of me.  Who can blame him?  I'm some strange lady waving a big black camera in his face, meanwhile making silly noises and faces.  I'd be scared too.  Seriously, Kim and I were doing everything we could think of to get him to smile.  A few times we got really close but Ezra really enjoyed sticking his tongue out at us.  
However, once we moved outside, things totally changed.  This little guy hammed it up.  It was great!  I had a hard time narrowing down which pictures to polish.  I look forward to many more sessions with this cutie!

I call this "The Many Faces of Ezra"

And the piece de resistance.....
Kim and I both had seen this idea on Pinterest.  We wanted to try it with his newborn photos but someone was just a bit squirmy.   So we tried again with this session and Ezra was still squirmy (clearly he does not like keeping his feet still) but with a little under the sheet help from Mommy, we got his feet in the right place so that I could make this:
If you're like my husband and you can't tell, his feet are the "v" for "love."  (seriously, Walker said he thought I had just forgotten to put the "v" in the picture).  I admit I spent a lot of time on this in Photoshop.  I was very, very picky about the way I wanted the letters to look.  I wanted them tall but not thick.  There is no font like that in photoshop so I created my own letters using the line and elliptical tool.  I guess I've now entered the world of editing in Lightroom and finishing with Photoshop.  Watch out world, I'm moving up!
