I’m sad that I’ve been such a sorry blogger, but I must say that it’s been kind of nice not adding one more thing to the “to do” list. Lots going on at LWP and the watson house, including a slew of living room sessions, birthdays (mine and jack’s), and an attempt at doing sessions with my own two beaks. I decided I would take them out one-on-one more often for a proper session. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. When I tell clients that I have one of the most difficult children on the planet to photograph – I’m not kidding. It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s nearly impossible to get amazing photos of this girl – but it’s great practice for working with other people’s kids.
This is how our session began.
No. I will not make eye contact. No matter what she does. I will not look at that camera.

These photos are hilarious…they capture her so perfectly! We need to have another christmas card photo session this year.
CLASSIC! I deal with the same thing anytime I take my camera out… at least you can use your skills on my kid.
HA! I was dying laughing reading this! I had no idea 3 year olds were capable of such humor…wait, she was being humorous with those faces, right??? ADORABLE! You did a great job.
