I was so excited when Dana got in touch with me again about doing another Missoula Montana mother and son session with her 8-year-old boy, Will, because we’d had such a wonderful time together during our first session three years ago!

Will’s grown so much, and much like our first session, he’s a boy who’s curious and excited about life, loves the outdoors, adores his mother, and still retains a fascination with sticks and rocks and all the cool things we can find in the woods.

It was so fun to see his imagination at play (at one point he created some “bike handlebars” from two sticks he he held together), and he had all sorts of interesting things to share with us as we meandered about the woods and water. He even had the lofty goal to build a bridge across the river solely using wet pebbles, and he was able to create a nice walking platform that was about two feet long before we explained that we might save that bridge-building goal for another day.

Will also still loves climbing trees and found all the best nooks and crannies to explore – he even came across some nifty bugs to show us, too!

At one point, as we were wandering around, Will happened upon a little depression in the soil. It spoke to him and soon he was pretending to be a grizzly bear, rolling around in the depression and even growling and grinning for the camera, too, up close and personal, which had us all in stitches!

Will and Dana! Thank you again for such a treat of a session – I just love getting to spend time with the two of you documenting you both as you are. Both you and Will always leave me with the fullest of hearts and the biggest of smiles! Thank you thank you thank you!

On the Docket:
