I’m going to be honest — a lot of the kids I photographed are being bribed. Parents say things like, “Remember what we talked about, we get ice cream if we’re good today!” or “Do you want to stay up later than your bedtime? Smile at the camera!” It cracks me up, but also, it totally works.

This is Brock. Brock is three, and you’re looking at his bribe — he got to bring along his brand-new dump truck to our session at the Nike campus.

Brock and his little brother, Porter, were so good as we galavanted around the Nike campus on a Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. Their mom, Kasi, lived next door to me when I was almost too young to remember, and it was so fun to get together and meet her family. She and Nick were high school sweethearts and are so much fun to be around.

There are so many fun things to do on that campus, and especially if you’re a kid.

Nick and Kasi, thanks for being so much fun to hang out with and photograph! You guys rock and I can’t wait to see you again soon.
