This is the sound Miss Hazel made, a lot, during our photo session. (Minus the reference to Quiznos and anything toasty.) In fact, her mom Kristen says that this has been her favorite sound for the past few weeks. Hazel is autistic and she doesn’t speak but she does have some favorite sounds. Doesn’t that sound make you think happy, satisfied, excited like you are anticipating something great kind of thoughts? If you have to have a sound rolling around in your head (thanks to Hazel, that sound has been rolling around in MY head all week too) isn’t that a good one?
Honestly, I was not sure how this session was going to go. I knew Hazel was autistic and I knew that I would also be photographing her little sister Megan along with Kristen and John, but that was all I knew. (Other than the fact that John was lovely over the phone!) This session could not have gone better! Megan was a cute little sprite who loved to snuggle with her mom and run and jump. Hazel was a champ in front of the camera. Apparently one of her teachers liked to take pictures of her so she was completely comfortable with my big old lens in her face!
Here are my favorites…
