5 on 5 is a blog circle made up of documentary family photographers who have committed to telling a story in 5 images on the 5th of each month. This is the story of his first ice cream cone.
Bennett has had ice cream before, but has recently starting requesting an “I cream cone”. I never gave in because I was sure it would result in a puddle of ice cream on the ground and a crying kid holding an empty cone. Luckily, this time when he asked it was his Tee Tee (Aunt Katie) who was buying. He got his cone. And he did great! He even shared. You couldn’t have found a happier kid.
I love these putting together these series of images. Culling and reducing until I can tell the story in just 5 shots. This one was tough! I narrowed it down to 6 (from 40) and I’m calling that good. Because really, what’s cuter than a kid with an ice cream cone?
Be sure to follow the 5 on 5 circle to see the other photographers’ September storytelling! You can start by visiting Stephanie Woodward, Utah documentary family photographer
