This was my second session with Amanda, Annabelle, and Claire, and though Riley the golden retriever (“our first child,” as Amanda refers to him) showed up in one of the photos from last session, he had more of a presence in this one. Luckily, Patrick, the husband/father, was able to be in a few too!
Annabelle is a little shy. She warmed up to me a little (you may remember in the last session, she eventually introduced me to her lovey Raoul) the last time, but this time was much different! As soon as I arrived and sat down on the floor in their play area, she went over to her bookcase, chose one, and sat down right next to me to read with me!!! Revisiting families for multiple sessions sure has its value!!
I certainly look to photograph the abundant energy of children, but capturing those quiet moments shared between parent and child is equally as fulfilling. After copious amounts of running around, Amanda suggested we go outside. Immediately, Claire ran over, sat in mom’s lap, and quietly waited until her shoes were on. This, in my eyes, is one of the many places where the love resides.
