I first met this lovely lady way back in the day when I attended WWU (that was meant to age me, not you Julie)
Western is also where she met her handsome match, and they now live in Seattle with their beautiful one year old boy. I was super excited for the chance to reconnect, and just a little (like a millimeter) more excited to meet their little boy. I mean, come on, look at that face. We planned our outing for the evening because 1) Seattle’s best summer light is in the evening 2) that is usually when this little guy is at his happiest.
It is so important to take your kids moods into consideration when planning a photo shoot. It is best to work the shoot into their schedule and not into yours. Be aware of nap times, snack times, and traditionally cranky times because they are only going to grow exponentially worse when a stranger with a huge camera is hanging around and interrupting their routine. Also, bring a snack, bottle, pacifier, blankie…..whatever you would use to soothe your little one at home, bring it along. It always comes in handy.
So, mom was right, evenings are best for this little guy. He was literally all smiles and goofy faces. By the end, we could see he was getting tuckered out, but that was perfect. A few sips of milk, a car ride home, and it was bedtime for him and wine relaxation time for mom and dad. It was wonderful to see you both again and an absolute pleasure to meet your little one. I am looking forward to watching him grow. Enjoy!
