This is Mr. B and I have been smitten with him ever since I laid eyes on him over a year ago. Look at that face! He is so ADORABLE! His eyes and lashes are amazing and he has two of the cutest dimples (which he was being very reserved about showing off for me).  He goes to preschool with my kids and I was fortunate enough to have been chosen for his family portraits.  Such an adorable family and my heart breaks knowing that they will be moving away very soon. Fortunately I am following his mom on Instagram, so at least I can get my Mr. B fix that way. For this shoot I brought along a fellow photographer friend and you should really check out her work. So great! It was awesome having her there.

Something that I struggle with at every session is when I hear the parents say something and then I OBSESS over it. I don’t realize I am doing it, but when I hear “hey, smile for the camera!” I immediately make it my mission to get their kid to smile. I heard it, so it MUST be important. Then, I spend the entire session so focused on that one thing, that I sometimes will miss out on other photo ops. This kid has my heart, but did not want to smile. Totally OK with me and thankfully mama didn’t mind (probably not nearly as much as I had during the session). But in the end, I gave a new trick that I had never tried before a go. I decided to sing to the poor child. Ya, that didn’t go over too well. HAHA! But, it did make for one of my favorite pictures of the day. You will know what picture I’m talking about when you get closer to the bottom of this post. It’s not the pointing one. That one also cracks me up and I am still unsure as to what he was pointing at.
