The adorable "S" came with his parents and grandma for a photo session. The first time I talked to his mom on the phone she told me he could be quite camera shy and that if I could get "just ONE good picture" she'd be happy. Honestly I love challenges such as shy kiddos. I love figuring out what will make kids open up, giggle, smile, etc. I will talk and ask questions and make silly faces...whatever it takes. I remember on one of my very first photo shoots several years ago having a little 6 year old girl who did NOT want to have her picture taken. As soon as we were out of earshot of her mom, she looked up at me and said "Um, WHEN are you going to leave?" I smiled and said "Well, after we finishing taking some pictures. Do you not want to do that?" She looked straight at me and said, "NOPE." But...45 minutes later we were buddies and as I was leaving she said, "I think I'd like to come over to your house to play some time." :-)
So back to "S".... We had a lot of fun chatting and exploring together and he didn't seem very camera shy to me at all! :-) I hope his sweet mom will be happy to know that we got many, many more than just ONE. Here are a couple.
Sweet family.....
He and his grandma are GREAT buddies!
SNEAK PEEK of AUSTINWe combined a birthday and holiday session for this little guy. He was only a couple of weeks old the first time he had his Christmas picture taken with this reindeer, so his parents thought it would be fun to have it in a few pictures each year around the holidays. Little ones change SO much in a year!
One more for mom...
