yesterday the boys and i headed outside to enjoy the amazing weather! well, it was a little chilly for us californians (in the 50′s) but we loved being outside nonetheless.

this is my favorite shot from yesterday — big brother was busy pointing out an airplane while little brother was laughing and imitating me crouched down on the pavement. i must have looked pretty silly to him or something!

i love his expression of pure joy — he’s not worried about his double chin or wondering if this pose is going to make him look dumb. he’s just enjoying the moment. i think we can all take a page out of his book and work on being more open and honest when we’re in front of the lens. i know i need a reminder to do that every so often. because that is what leads to capturing the reality of your life instead of the ‘posed’ look. personally, i think those are the shots that stand out the most.

hence my favorite shot of the day.
