Posted on October 27, 2009
This little fella was the friendliest I’ve seen in a while. It only took two minutes for him to stretch out his arms for me to hold him. Maybe he remembers me from mom’s maternity session last year. (Babies CAN hear in the womb you know!) It doesn’t matter to me why he liked me. It just made my day that he did.
Two quick lessons for today:
1: Let them NOT smile for a few.
This is how he looks. This is his personality. Calm. Sweet. Questioning. I love this one!
2: Get the action shot.
He was talking on and on about something that had to do with these blocks. It was in his own language, but interesting just the same. It all just meant “play with me.” This is a kid, being a kid. I much prefer this over the traditional portrait. Here he has an expression that means something. I look at this image and I remember his baby babble and how sweet it sounded. And how he was so proud of his new blocks that he’d gotten at his 1 year old birthday party the weekend before.
The blocks were not a copied studio prop. They were HIS. This gives the image more meaning. There is a story that goes with them and a whole lot of memories.

I could fall into those eyes…and spend all day watching him take in the world. Thanks so much for catching a few of the moments that will be gone all too soon.
