Priscilla...again!!!

She smiles

I don't normally expose pictures of my clients but this one is toooo cute to keep it for me alone.
(posted with authorization). BTW, he is not my son as some of you will think so

The Pianist

Yeah, this is my baby girl's pacifier.
I don't like it very much; but, we don't know what else to do when she is restless.


She likes it

first shot shows a real cutie and I am drawn to your 2nd where your son looks to be mentally processing something....sheet music maybe?

Thanks guys!!!

pjflan7, the kiddo playing some notes on a piano is not my son. They look a bit alike and are of the same age, and they are also friends. But, here, i was a paid session.


SaturnStrobe, thanks for looking and commenting.

I like that series very much. I know that children are not always the easiest subjects, but you've captured great images and feelings!

Alphasco,
you are right. Kids are not always making things easier. But, i generally use some tricks (we shared some of these here in the forums once). It also pays to speak sometime to the parents about what they like or enjoy doing.
Sometimes, i think taking pictures of animals in the nature can really put your nerves into test. Trust me, i rather have to do with kiddos. Its more fun!!!

Leona,
Yup! She is. We are permanently buying bigger clothing. We have not yet finish buying a set that she already need a size above. This is crazy. I don't remember it being so with her big brother.

Beautiful photos again, Drax! I love the little boy at the piano, and Priscilla is such a darling! Don't worry about the pacifier; that stage will be over before you know it. They grow so fast -- she'll probably be graduating from high school next week!
