We had the session the day of his 1st birthday party. The little dude wanted nothing to do with the camera or being away from his mother but was content as long as mother was holding him.
And I know it's cliche but I kept thinking of the whole "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To" song! (all in good fun!)
And I can't leave out his cute older brother!
Hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
We just got back from the Outer Banks late this afternoon. It was so nice to get away and just spend time together as a family. No work. No Internet. Nice.
So while I brought my big camera, I didn't end up using it. At all. I used my little Canon point-and-shoot for all the pictures. Sometimes it's relaxing to just enjoy the time together without worrying about sand getting on the "big boy"!
So these are just a few of the 400 or so candids that we shot. As expected, I'm not in many of them--lol.
Will try and post a few more in the next week or so. Now's the hard part of catching up from being gone for a week--lots of client sessions to finish proofing before I can "play". :-)
And yep, the water really was that blue. It was the neatest thing. We've always seen that shade of blue in the Caribbean but not the Atlantic. I was speaking with one of the locals who said he'd never seen the water that shade of blue before but for whatever reason it was showing up that way for May!
And of course how could I leave out the cheesy camera-held-out-in-front-of-you family shot?
And we found out that little guy has developed a sudden fear of kites. Poor little dude. But how could I not take a picture of that face!
I will be out of the office spending some much-needed time with the family starting Sunday, May 4th and returning Monday, May 12th. I will have no access to email during this time, so please plan to hear from me when I return.
Despite the crummy weather this morning, we were able to move the shoot indoors and still get some cute shots of Baby "J". And we DID get some smiley shots! He wasn't serious the entire time! ;-)
Please meet Miranda, another of my senior models. We had a fun mini session with some cool bamboo backgrounds. :-)
