In early November, I had a photo shoot with the Larsen family and the newest addition to their family, Rocky. There was definitely some of the crying and fussing that you can expect from a photo session that includes a newborn. Overall, the little guy was fairly cooperative throughout the session.
On Halloween, my newest niece, Avery, was born. I had her shoot when she was 6 days old. This session did not go quite as smoothly as I expected it to since she had a little case of the hiccups that seemed to keep her from falling asleep. Also, she didn't want to give up on the pacifier once we gave it to her. I was happy that I was able to deal with these little troubles and still get some good photos of my niece.
As I said in my previous post, I ended the month with a family photo session. I first got in touch with the Larsens by responding to their posting for a family portrait session on Thumbtack. I later ended up meeting them in person prior to the shoot as they visited my booth at Dandelion Wine Arts Festival. This was an exciting shoot because it was the first time photographing someone that was not friends or family. It was a pleasure to photograph the Larsen family. I want to build on this experience and do some more family portrait sessions.
