Not bad, huh!?

So I tried my hand at sport portraits with the baby boy while he was still in uniform — and I couldn’t resist capturing a mix of charm and determination.

The session was short, sweet, and full of personality. In a tiny jersey and cleats that looked ready for a big game, he brought authentic expressions that ranged from wide-eyed curiosity to the confident squint of a future champion. Using a shallow depth of field kept the focus on those facial details, while a low-angle composition emphasized his little-but-mighty presence.

Lighting was soft and directional to highlight the texture of the uniform and the sparkle in his eyes without washing out the skin tones. I incorporated both wider shots and close-up portraits to show the tiny, earnest features. Neutral backgrounds and classic, muted color grading helped the images feel timeless and sporty rather than overly stylized.

These images are perfect for family albums, or a playful announcement — a keepsake that captures a fleeting stage of childhood and the pure joy of dressing the part. I’m thinking about starting these type of sessions in the future.
