I love being a photographer. It is such a fun job, and is really a dream come true for me! But I have a confession to make. I don’t photograph my own children as much as I should. I mean, I take snapshots of them often, but I don’t usually do “real sessions” with them (at least, not very often). When my third child was born, I swore to myself that she would get just as many pictures taken of her as my other two had when they were babies. I was the third in my family and was hardly photographed at all as a baby (seriously. I have two scrapbook pages of pictures under age one and they were all taken too far away that you can’t even tell what I looked like!) so I didn’t want the same thing to happen in our family. Unfortunately, I’ve failed miserably. Kate, my oldest, has thousands of pictures from her first year. Gavin has quite a few, too. Sophia… not so much. But I’m trying (that counts for something, right?). So earlier this week, after we’d sent Kate off to school for the day, I decided to do a real photo shoot with Gavin and Sophia. The light in my bedroom is PERFECT in the early morning (for taking pictures, anyway…) so I took them upstairs and we had a little playdate with my camera. 🙂 I am thrilled with the results. I got exactly what I was hoping for. Their personalities totally shined through in the pictures. Gavin – the sweet, loving four year old that he is. Sophia – my little ten month old who is now speedily crawling everywhere and is so happy all the time. I love it! Now if only I could get a session in with all three of my kids together!!! Some of these are definitely destined to be wall portraits. Here are a few favorites…
