My first session for the day, and it was off to a good start. I walked in the door to be greeted by the most delicious of aromas and a fresh cup of hot coffee. Mmmmm.
And Vincent, my subject for the morning, was just as divine, if not more so. He had an impossibly gorgeous little face, and the rosiest of cheeks (teething will do that to you). He was a little shy, but we soon worked a smile or two out of him with all our dancing and singing, and funny face pulling. Maybe he thought we were funny, or perhaps he just smiled because he felt sorry for us. Either way works for me.
I love this age. And I know I say that whether it’s a newborn, a six month or a two year old child I photograph. I guess they all have their endearing qualities, each being at a unique stage in their lives. But at six months, most children are very alert, and very curious. They love soaking up their surroundings, and their eyes – so wide and full of innocence – contain the essence of childhood. And what I’d give to have eyes like Vincent. Boy, are the girls in trouble in sixteen years or so.
These are just a few images from his session. I’m glad we managed a few smiles out of your little boy, Antonella – he really is beautiful. Such a sweet little soul.Â
Thanks for a great start to the weekend, Antonella and John. It really was a pleasure spending time with you all. You have a gorgeous family, and it was an honour being able to capture your little guy at this stage of his life.
