the tom sawyer/huck finn theme at the potomac river was my absolute favorite concept session ever. the gorgeous setting and weather was just icing on the cake for this amazing portrait session. it’s no secret i have a soft spot for photographing boys (since i have two little wild dudes of my own to dig in the dirt with). not to mention i was a total tomboy growing up, so i’m not afraid to get dirt under my finger nails or bait a hook with a live worm.

      the little bro in this session was pretty overtired and completely refused to join his older brother in the photos. but i NEVER, EVER give up, and i ALWAYS win when it comes to getting the shots for mom and dad. 🙂 🙂 it definitely took me some convincing, bribery and totally making a fool of myself, but i got little huck finn in the photographs and made his momma a VERY happy woman! and BTW i’m now the proud owner of these vintage bamboo fishing poles (thank you B family!), so anyone who’s up for another one of these just shoot me and email and we’ll set it up! helenjohnphotography@gmail.com
