This year I took a ton of student portraits. It was an amazing experience (A bit like childbirth really. Lot’s of hard work at the beginning and fond memories after!) and I met a lot of new little friends. That was the best part. Chatting with all these kids. In order to get some natural smiles and expressions I would ask them to tell me the funniest thing about their mom or dad or brother, etc. Oh my, the honesty! I’m sure there is some sort of code for photographers that prevents me from repeating any of these stories. They gave me a giggle every time and also made me wonder about all the things my kids have shared with their teachers to! Yikes! Since I didn’t have model releases for those kids I haven’t shared any of the images, but this is one of my new little friends!
Miss Chloe came to see me last weekend with her baby brother in tow. I was happy to see that she was just as smiley as she had been at school. Baby Westin was a bit more serious but we were running into his nap time so I was grateful there were no tears! And his dad did a great job of tickling some grins out of him.
Never fear Eugenia and Simon, Chloe was smiley enough on her own that I never had to ask her about you at school. No stories there! Here are my favorites…
