Considering this session didn't go as planned, these kids are seriously photogenic! You actually probably would never be able to tell that this little girl was not happy unless I showed you an outtake (which I did take and kept for your viewing pleasure! lol.) I always try and have a back-up plan when little ones are little uncooperative. Bella, one years old, was really attached to her mom this day, and according to mom, she is always attached to her (we call her "Momma's Girl.") This is not an uncommon thing though. Most babies at this age (between 9-24 months) tend to sometimes gets nervous or feel strange around new people, especially if they have never gotten their portraits taken professionally before (which little Miss Bella hasn't.) You would never be able to tell but, in less obvious portraits, I had incorporated mom in without getting mom in the portrait at all. Just a little cropping magic and wala! You have yourself some beautiful shots. Of course, it helps that the subject is also so stinking adorable!
Now Evan, age 3, was LOVING the fact that he was getting his picture taken. He let me pose him, he smiled on cue, what more could a photographer ask for? And those eyes! Both of them had gorgeous blue eyes. You all know how I feel about children with blue eyes. To die for!
In the end, mom was happy with all the shots we had gotten and so was I. The most important shot was, of course, the children together and I got that along with their individual shots as well.

OUTTAKE! This was Bella throughout the whole session (except of course the smiles I got lol)
Beautiful serious face
