K's christening

I love working with clients that I've photographed before, it's so amazing to see how their families grow and change! I photographed this family for their maternity and newborn shots and now it's time for some christening and family shots.
Little K has grown up so much, but still has the great, happy personality that I remember him having as a newborn, very laid back. And more surprisingly....still has tons of hair!!! It seems that most babies lose it all in a couple of months, but this little guy still has it, tons of thick luxurious hair. So much so that he had to already get his first haricut, at just 4 1/2 months!!! It makes him look like such a little man!
The happy family:

Can you believe this guy, mugging it up for the camera like this...eye contact with me and everything. I'm keeping this little guy....haven't told his parents yet, but I need to hold on to little natural models like this one. :)

Love this one, I can picture him in 80 years sitting in the same spot, such a little man on a park bench!

K in his gorgeous heirloom christening gown.

The cousins and extended family were equally gorgeous, look at this guy!

Some cousin love....it's gotta make you smile.

And if you could see this from the kids' perspective, it would be hilarious.....all of the adults and me behind my lens trying to get their attention by being silly, laughing, calling out with crazy voices, holding dogs above the photogs head....anything for the price of a great photo of the kids!!!

I think there are pictures out there of the other side....send them to me and I'll post them! :)

K's cousins, beautiful pair.

See what I mean....gorgeous subjects for me! And the clothing choices were perfect for the whole group. Just lovely.

K's other aunt and uncle, they were so kind to me, putting up with the poses that I suggested, with everyone looking on. Poise under pressure.

And I love the orange scarf, great choice.

These two were great, she seemed so sweet with him, seemed to want to give him a smooch between shots.

So I asked her to do it once for the camera. :)

I loved the senses of humor in this family, the dry wit and lust for life, what fun it must be to be a part of this family.

And it was neat for me, after having photographed K and his parents a couple of times, to see extended family and the resemblances....where they got those eyes, that smile. It was great fun for me.
