I got to hang out with this sweet little 18-month-old this morning. Keeping that full head of blond hair in order during the session proved to be a bit of a challenge, but what a cutie she is! I love how the blue clothes her mom picked out brought out her blue eyes.
As promised this sweet little girl came back for some portraits without mom and dad, and you’re probably wondering if I’m off my rocker with the post title “Ship’s Captain”. Well despite her pretty hairbow and dry-clean-only dress, this little cutie loved playing pirate ship with me, and was quite the little actress. Here is a little snap from “nighttime” on the boat, where the captain needed to catch some shut-eye, and then a shot on land where she’s searching for food. These clovers will make a yummy salad!
I rarely get into Washington, DC for photoshoots, but every time I do I have so much fun and I think I really should do it more often. This family asked for some portraits near the Capitol, and as luck would have it, the storms blew through right before our session and left us with a beautiful slightly cloudy and temperate afternoon that was perfect for portraits.
I can’t believe how hot it was this morning, even at 7:30 in the morning! It’s a good thing we got an early start because the weather seems to be more like August than June this week. But what a great way to start the morning with an adorable baby and her busy big brother. I am absolutely loving that father daughter image, and even though the kids have got their serious faces on in that last one, I love how great the family looks together. Kudos to mom for coordinating the outfits so nicely.
From what I hear, I need to watch one of the recent episodes of Modern Family which was all about their family portrait. This family mentioned it at their session, joking that their session might end up something like the TV show. Well since I haven’t seen the show yet I can’t compare this session with the one on TV, but this photogenic family was really fun to work with. Of course I had to resort to a little creativity to catch smiles on the little ones, but that’s part of the fun of children’s photography!
I just loved his little fingers and toes in this first image. Babies at this age have the cutest little bare arms and legs! This little guy braved a 90 degree morning with us and was quite a trooper. It feels a little more like August than early June outside these days!
