Earlier this year I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa and Jameson along with Melissa’s brother and his family. We explored Fort Monroe and I loved getting to know Melissa and Jameson both better. They are such a sweet Mommy-Son pair, both a wonderful balance of wonderment and pizazz. So you can imagine how excited I was when Melissa reached out about doing another session! Even more when she told me she had a baseball theme planned!

We met early Saturday morning at the Briarfield Baseball and Softball fields in Hampton and had the best time together! As soon as he got out of the car, Jameson had to have his baseball bat, both baseballs, his helmet, and his glove – all at the same time! We convinced him to carry just one ball and the bat to start and he seemed alright with it, until I pulled out the camera. His entire body tensed, he froze in place,a nd you’ll have to check out that first shot to see the face he made, haha! We recovered quickly and kept our eyes on the field. Jameson was very upset we couldn’t get onto the actual fields, but he had fun showing me his best baseball moves, practicing his swing, and calling his shots (to the sky!).

Melissa, you are an amazing mom! It is such a joy to watch Jameson grow and I can’t wait to see all that God has in store for you both! Thank you for trusting me to capture this season for you, it is my genuine pleasure! ❤️

Jameson had this amazing habit of calling his shots. Most often he predicted they’d go to the sky. Keep swinging, little man! You’ll get there!
