Tanner’s 8 year old photo shoot at the Kansas City Temple.
We had gone boating earlier in the day, then scheduled the pics right at dusk to capture the best lighting. Well – this poor, exhausted kid was totally asleep when I pulled into the parking lot and did NOT want to wake up.
It took him a while to warm up to the camera, I may have been telling some jokes about farting and pooping. And trying to play peek-a-boo behind the camera. But it worked!!! He finally relaxed his face, smiled beautifully, and did his thing!
As we were wrapping up, he told me: "I just LOVE the look of the temple. I would pass out if I lived next door with these views. Can I take more pics myself!"
Seriously, I LOVE this boy, his innocent and tender-heart!
This one might be my favorite!
Although I love this one too!
OMG—it was so HOT! And so many bugs!!! It’s amazing he survived and kept letting us take pics!
Search, PONDER, and pray
He’s going to be a great missionary one day!
He’s SO cute! I just want to eat him up!!!
The temple grounds were closed, but we still got some gorgeous shots.
In a few weeks, Tanner will be baptized and is so excited to follow our Savior Jesus Christ!
