Chris was working in the backyard this morning and found a toad. Logan has been super interested in animals lately, so he caught it and brought it inside for us to investigate.We talked about the colors that we saw and how the toad had rough skin. We watched the toad jump and heard it chirp. Both boys got to pet it… and Atticus tried to squeeze it a little too hard. We hung out with our toad friend for a while and then let him loose in the front yard

I love this photo. It’s perfect in all of its imperfection.

Like I mentioned above, Atticus tried to squeeze the toad’s little head and got upset when I told him no and took it away.

As you guys probably know, I have a thing about taking photos of little hands and feet. I’m always photographing Atti and Logan’s hands and feet… and will even take photos of hands and feet during photo sessions for our clients. There’s just something about chunky little kid hands. I am in LOVE with these photos.

This series of photos was so much fun. Maybe we should start offering Toad Mini Lifestyle Sessions to our clients, lol! Here’s a little video of our fun with the toad. You can hear him chirping. He’s so cute!
