"I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet" -"I'm Your Puppet" by James & Bobby Purify
I have always loved floor scenes. From the Kindle commercials to the many photographs and beautiful music videos created from a high vantage point. Oh, the creativity. Then there were the gorgeous series of photographs Mila's Daydreams by Adele Enersen. What a perfect way to do something creative with a baby since all they really can do is lay there. I've had lists of ideas for images to create in this vain for quite a while now and never got around to it. Now that I have the perfect little model though I couldn't resist. This specific idea has been in my head for a while so it felt good to get it out of there as it's getting quite crowded in there. I'm going to have to start charging my ideas and constant to-do's rent as they overstay their welcome. And when they don't pay, they, like so many before, will be evicted to my notebook. Or as I call it, the Land of Homeless Visions.
And what I said about him being my perfect little model is totally true. This little man was dancing and moving just like a little puppet the second I laid him down. It was absolutely adorable! I almost wish I had video taped it instead of taking photographs. The out-takes are just too precious. He is definitely turning into a photographer's child. As soon as there is a phone or camera on him he stares right at it and most of the time smiles. I'm sure the day will come that he will resent it, but until then I will click away in utter bliss at that sweet little face.
A special thanks to our roommate Ben who let me wake him up to play puppeteer.

He's absolutely adorable! I love your concept! :)
I am continuously amazed at all the photos you have got with hhis eyes open and looking at the camera, it took me about a year to get that from my godson :)
Your head is filled with marvelous things.
What an adorable sesh. While there may come a day that he will resent it, it'll only be a few years after that until he finds a love, who will thank you profusely. :)
How cute that he knows its a camera! Perfect! Looking forward to more!
Awesome photo!
He is absolutely the perfect baby model :)
A Candid Life
Just found your blog. Your little guy is adorable and I love your photography! I have a little guy who is 10.5 weeks old, so it is always fun to see other babies the same age. I look forward to following.
Rach X: Thanks! He loves looking at the camera! I'm starting to think the hard part will be to not get him to always look at the camera =). It's hard to get video of him doing something cute
Rachael: Haha. It's filled alright. I just wish I could get it to quiet down sometimes. =)
The Keeper of the Keys: Thanks!
Thanks Deana!
Lulu: Thank you! He's definitely a good little model for me.
Andrea: Welcome to my blog and thank you! Congratulations on your baby! How cute that they are the same age! What's your son's name and birhtday?
