Following around some kids while they watch their daddy do his job could be a bit boring if he was a mailman, computer guy or even a doctor. Now, if daddy played football for the NFL, the idea of taking photos of adorable girls while they watch their daddy “work” sounds a bit more appealing, don’t you think?! I had the opportunity to do just that last week, and it was such a blast. Nicole texted me about a month ago with this idea that she was so excited about. Her husband Tony, was going to be turning 30 the day of the first pre-season game and Nicole thought it would be great to bring her 2 little girls to the game for that special night. While Nicole is a scrapbooker extraordinaire and loves to take photos, she wanted to just enjoy the experience with her girls and let someone else document it for her. I was so honored to be able to do this for such a neat family. While the girls are still too little too really get how cool it is too watch their daddy play football, I love that they will have these photos to look back at years from now.
Even though Addie did not want to wear the adorable tutu that Nicole had custom made, she was still a good sport and such a joy to photograph.
I don’t think many moms would handle bringing two little ones to a major sporting event, but Nicole made it look way too easy and always had a smile on her face!
Being on the field before the game was pretty cool. My husband, a die hard 49′er fan was on his way to the game when I was down here and I LOVED telling him where I was when he called. Nicole was able to find us a perfect spot to watch the action and loved it when Tony spotted his girls hanging out. A little side note to my photographer friends. I was excited to use my 80-200 lens at the game, you know the “big one”. That poor little lens was nothing compared to the lenses the real photographers on the field were using. I don’t think I could have even lifted one of them!
I think this next one has to be my favorite shot of the day. There is just something about it, don’t you think?
Or maybe this one is my favorite. The people in the left corner of the photo is a young lady singing the national anthem with cameras right on her..talk about nerves! Hearing someone sing the national anthem in person always brings a tear to my eye. I love how Addie is just taking it all in.
I LOVE this shot too.
Avery, the superstar niner fan stayed awake the whole game. There were a few times she was just about to doze off, when something would happen in the game and the crowd would get loud.
Thanks again Wragge family for letting me be a part of your special day. I can’t wait to share all the photos with you.
