This is not the dad.
The very best family portrait shoots are the ones that allow playtime and interaction between family members of any degree…not me bossing around poses and head tilts. On a family portrait shoot in Breckenridge, I watched as the various family members interacted with each other and was actually involved with a different set of kids when I turned around to see this. This little boy and his uncle found a way to pass the time and enjoy the sunshine until it was their turn to be in the spotlight. Clearly this is something that both parties involved are very comfortable with and I am glad I had a chance to catch their little moment. I love being an aunti and value the time I get with my niece and nephew. The man in the photo is a Muay Thai fighter and to see him using his strength in such a playful and gentle way with his nephew flying in complete trust melts my heart every time. If only everyone used their strength to bring about these kind of giggles…
