I'll stand by you - Michigan Child photographer

Yesterday my son and I had a little one on one time. We took advantage of the sun and went and had a little mini session. I wanted to try out a couple of new possible shooting locations and as always, my children are my favorite models.

While looking at his images and seeing all that "tween 'tude" (if you have one you will recognize it immediately) I am reminded of how fast his childhood seems to be sweeping by. It seems like it was just yesterday I was holding this sweet baby and singing to him. My favorite song to sing to him was "I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders. To this day when I hear it I get a lump in my throat and drippy eyes. He is growing up so fast. I so love this boy, attitude and all.

Here are the lyrics to Hunter's song (thats what I call it anyway) respectfully snipped some of the chorus out.



Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
