I know it is long over due...........I haven't posted in forever. Don't be mad I have been busy with the photography side of my business. Like shooting this little darling Emma. These pictures were done at a beautiful marina in Foster City. Not too familiar with the area so I love it when families pick great locations for me. Every once in a while (usually around the 4-5 month age group) I get a baby that refuses to smile. They just stare at me with a blank unamused expression like, "what do you think you are doing lady, I am not here for your entertainment". I will be making a fool of myself in front of the parents doing everything I can from shaking my booty to singing, hoping for a smirk but .....nothing. Emma was definitely in that mood. At one point she even flipped me off. (see below). For parents and other photographers out there, I have figured out this phenomenon is due to tiredness. Sometimes they will snap out of it after a second wind, like Emma did, but usually a good nap and a snack with fix it. I still find it hilarious though shooting "irritated baby portraits". Maybe it will be a new trend, like the sleeping portraits. lol. I asked Katie (Emma's mom to answer a few questions about being a new mother, here where her answers below:
Something you like: Baby smiles
Something you dis-like: Wheezy breathing
Something you didn't know: How fast they grow and change
Something embarrassing: Poop doesn't bother me :)
