“The shortest distance between two people is a smile.”

I love that little saying!  I think it is the honest truth.  As a mother four times over it was my children’s smiles that sparked our relationship.  Before then they were warm cozy little miracles to hold and a whole bunch of work.  But that first smile triggered the beginning of a bond, the start of one of the most meaningful relationships I will ever have.  Their smile was the beginning…

I love this little guy.  I told his mother that holding him is just about as much fun as photographing him.  I just wanted to cuddle and snuggle this little Buddha baby.  He is such a rolly polly.  He isn’t sitting yet, so that made for some challenges.  As I edited Luke’s session I couldn’t help smiling.  With every picture I remembered all the silly sounds, huge ear to ear smiles and all those cute little faces.  Six month olds are the very best.  They are just beginning to show off their ample personalities.  They start to respond and really communicate their joy.  It was this age that I really started to bond with my own children.  Luke is becoming a little person now.  And by the looks of it he is going to be a real happy, easy going lovable little man.  Luke has now been to my studio for newborn, 3 month and 6 month portraits.  It is a wonderful gift to get to grow with my clients children.
