true, i have not photographed babies in awhile [except coop of course!] but this december i have definitely had my practice.
and just as each adult is different, so is each baby and each baby's family.
the most recent photo shoot i did was for our dear friends brooke and dave and their little one seth. seth was a champ and put up with us changing his clothes and laying him on the backdrop 100x with the greatest of ease. dave, however, a bit challenging at the beginning. my first thought was he just didn't want his photo taken but as the photo shoot progressed, i realized he was just a bit run down from the weekend activities.
have no fear though. just when i thought i could not get dave to smile anymore, i noticed how happy dave got when i held up the little pooh bear to get seth to smile. actually, i noticed both brooke and dave were smiling rather well whenever i held up the pooh and started talking in a high pitch tone. since i will do anything to get a good photograph, i kept it up and before i knew it everyone was in stitches. now i need to remember to bring a pooh bear to all the photo shoots!
well, with no longer ado, i present you with some of the seth photos:
of course, what is a holiday photo shoot without a little santa baby!
this little outfit was so sweet on seth. the hat. the plaid. i love baby boys. they look like cute wrinkly old men!
my favorite photograph from the shoot, thanks to dave who had the idea to put the bear in the photograph. i love it. so sweet.
family photo. love it.
my second favorite photo. can you see the glimmer in dave's eyes? thanks pooh bear!
this is something new i have started doing and it is just so darling. very symbolic and poetic i believe.
thank you very much brooke and dave for letting me capture this moment in your new family. i am so grateful to be able to call you friend.
