The Sweet Life

Miss CJ had her 6 month session today (a little late, to make sure she was sitting confidently…always a milestone that works well for photographs).

This is probably my favorite age to work with. They can sit up, they are smiley and quick to engage, and (this is key) they can’t go anywhere yet.

CJ and big brother Aidan were such fun, and after their session I had a chance to gab with their mom about important things such as private vs. public schools, the “stay in Dallas or move North the suburbs” debate, and other important, near and dear to my heart, topics. It was wonderful working with a family that lives about .5 miles from my home…so these topics are high on her list right now as well.

I must say, a big rule was broken today. I try to keep a “no camera” rule at session (besides my own, of course). This can easily become distracting as the kids are unsure of who they should be focusing their attention on. And it’s distracting to me. But there is a certain little photographer that is up and coming, and one to watch in the next, oh, 15 years. I may be in trouble with this little guy living so close to me!

Maybe I should move North!
