Daddy's Little Hero

I bought my little guy this Fireman’s Hat yesterday and he wears it everywhere… even in the bathtub lol… (where i shot this image)

I thought I’d try to get a few shots of him wearing it and this is one of my favs so far.

I edited the image to make him look LESS like a cute and cuddly toddler and more of a fireman on the frontlines.

Hope you like it :))

A great capture, Kevin!!! Fantastic expression & composition, and looks like he’s just got back to the station after a rugged day on the firefront!!

excellent,
Kevin Bergen

Pretty cool. Looks a little grimy, just like a fire fighter “on the front lines.” Nice!

Thanks Kevin :)

Your post processing on this is fantastic! Looks like he is in need of a nice cool glass of milk after a hard day on the job ;)
Kevin Kroeker replied

Thanks Rhana :) A nice BIG cold glass of milk and some cookies…lol

Great expression and capture. He looks like he’s right there in the action ”...saved everybody?”

Thanks Calin :)

The expression on your son’s face says it all and he has just the right amount of grime on his face. As a retired firefighter (IAFF local 2024) I think this is the perfact photograph and tell him that driving those big red rigs is a lot more fun than wearing the helmets

Thanks Bryan… I am pleased that you like this (coming from a firefighter that is a fantastic compliment) I have a feeling his Grandma & Grandpa will be getting him a firetruck.. lol.
