Bradley in Black and White

Posted in Children Tags: , , ,

I took this photo of Bradley on Tuesday afternoon when I picked the kids up from my mom’s house.  It was a lucky shot.  He was actually refusing to sit still for me, and was pulling faces… it took about 10 photos and loads of chatting for me to get this one.

And I LOVE it.  It’s one of the best photos that I’ve taken of him in ages!

He’s not himself this week actually. He’s been acting like a bit of a spoilt brat at my mom’s house.  Connor started school this week, and Bradley’s school only starts next week, so for the first time since before Connor was born, Bradley has been alone with my mom or at home.  And I really think he’s missing his brother’s company.  He looked quite sad when we dropped Connor off at school this morning, and when we got to my mom’s house he was very quiet and just went straight to the lounge and turned the TV on.

LOL, I’m not sure what I’m going to do during Bradley’s many school holidays this year actually, because Connor’s nursery school doesn’t close.

I think it’s a stunning photo of Bradley!
As for the holidays we are going to have to make a plan with the boys and organise at least one or two play dates each holiday. Ethan is also going to get very bored at home ~ they don’t have holiday care this year either…

Wow! That is a really great photograph of Bradley. Especially as he doesn’t always like to co-operate with you and the camera LOL! It’s gorgeous!

I love this. What a gorgeous portrait of a gorgeous boy. I especially love the angle of his body and your delicious DOF. Beautiful!

Shame, not long to go and he will be able to go to school as well…
Lovely that they enjoy each others company.

Beautiful photo, I agree.
I have the same problem with my two. When one is alone you often find that they miss the other one, even if they don’t say so.

Nice one! I spotted your mom, sister and Bradley at Cresta on Tuesday. . . Nearly went up to them to say hi but then stopped dead in my tracks. My mind told me . . . they don’t you at all Liz, they only look familiar cause you read Jeanette’s blogs :) Maybe next time :)
PS Was wondering where Connor was!

lovely. i do so love boys :) this is a stunning capture.

Mom (259 comments.) - January 8, 2009 - 9:44 pm

Yes .. that is beautiful (one for a frame?!) I think he is missing Connor – the holidays have been long and they’ve been together the whole time except for now. Going back to school will work wonders.
