Inevitably, we photographers will run into “the difficult session”. The child who wants nothing to do with us, the outdoor family session scheduled during torrential rains, the newborn who only wants to exercise their new lungs instead of sleep. We never let on during these sessions, and just smile and do what we do — because that’s our job. We figure it out, and we push for every shot.

And then you have a session, like this one. Where everything just falls into place, and you wonder why you ever did anything different for work. You walk away encouraged, inspired, and fulfilled.

This family was awesome. M here is about 9 months old–not normally the easiest age for toddlers. He’s not quite standing, not quite walking, but definitely sitting. And grinning. And clapping. Basically, he’s just being the cutest 9 month old ever, as well as the easiest I’ve ever worked with. Tell me you can resist his charms. I dare you.

I think this one is my fave, the look on M’s face cracks me up.

And we ended our session with a few shots of M in this Radio Flyer, he was LOVING it.

A, D, & M, you guys truly made my Sunday. It was so fun hanging out with you, we will definitely have to do this again soon!
