A few days leading up to this next sitting emails went back and forth about rescheduling because I had advised the mom months ago that if they were going to do family pictures just once this year that the best time would be when their baby girl was able to sit up on her own. So we schedule a sitting for months away as the date neared she had yet to reach the sitting up milestone. Finding another date that works for everyone is always a little difficult and the husband (like many rational men do) just said let's keep the original date and it is okay that she may not be sitting up. Well we are all so glad we went w/ his input because their daughter surprised us all and sat up unassisted for the first time and as we all laughed and clapped in amazement I was able to capture it on film. I had so much fun with this family. Their son already has swagger that I fell in love with. The first 3 images were from very early on in the shoot and he was just adorable with his sister and then he was so thrilled about her sitting up and that he may have been just the right helper in the great achievement. Again, my lack of time leaves me w/ the inability to tightly edit my most favorite shots from the sitting. So get ready for another image dump but hopefully you will see why it was impossible to quickly narrow. Looking through these makes me realize how lucky I am to do what I do...I had such a great time meeting this couple and their beautiful kids!
