This child is almost four. This is hard to believe. My last picture of him at this spot he was reaching for the wind chime and couldn’t actually reach it. Now, older and taller, he is closer to the chime and a little further away from being my baby.

Well, she is. If it’s any consolation she’s cuter than I am as well.
I photographed this little beauty on Saturday morning. She was right in the middle of her 3-week growth spurt and made me work for it but time, patience, lots of food, womb sounds and loud shushing resulted in some final sleeping images that are just adorable as well as some great looks of wide eyed wonder.

Isn’t this spot gorgeous? I did a shoot last weekend for a 1-year-old here and need to remember to schedule daffodil sessions next spring. It had rolling hills of daffodils, old stone walls, old stone steps, paths, a pond (with an island that had yet more daffodils) and then some more daffodils.

Last Saturday I held a series of mini sessions in what I confess is my favorite location, Westmoor Park. All the participants enjoyed (or, at least I hope they enjoyed) a 30-45 minute session with some shots in the barn and some in the fields.
I love barn light. Really really love it.
There were a variety of victims. Errr… subjects. Families, 3-year-old twins, 1-year-old twins, children with more fashion sense than I can ever hope to have, older kids, younger kids and special needs kids. It was a wild ride of photography and, for many people, playing in the park afterward. There are chickens to see, a free roaming rooster to ogle, a very friendly horse (and, no, my hair is NOT a snack despite what he seemed to think) much open space to run in, barn cats that like even young, active children. Westmoor Park is such a hidden treasure, tucked away in West Hartford, and I always like to be able to introduce more people to it.
Each mini-session guaranteed 5-10 images (though I’ve finished proofing one and thanks to my lack of self discipline there are 18 final pictures from which to choose) and the $100 fee is wholly applied to the initial order which, of course, makes the actual session free. I am thinking about doing one more set of this style of mini-sessions for the holidays. But, enough of my prattle. Here are some pictures…

My goal was a smiling, static picture of both children smiling at the camera to send to their grandmother. You know the shot, those boring big grins of your basic school picture. Instead I have a roll of delightful pictures that are filled with personality, laughter, funny looks, interaction and just about everything except smiling children holding still. I’ve found I’m happier, and get much more charming pictures, when I let go of the need to control the shot and just photograph the relationship.
