Stolen

Yep, he did it.  Drew has stolen my heart!  I arrived at his session and got out of the car and saw another one of the most beautiful boys I've seen!  I was so excited about our session together. 

But Drew wasn't as sure as I was...  ha ha!  In fact, he wasn't so sure about me at all. 

But for those of you who have read my blog and looked at my work, you know that I love, LOVE these solemn expressions.   It really isn't all about  the cheesy fake smiles just for the sake of capturing a smile.  What it's all about is expression... emotion... real.   And Drew is a real life doll!  I think that's why these more serious shots are some of my favorites. 

His parents and I thought Drew might be comfortable with my daughter, who is 8.  I picked her up and we continued with our session.  I did get smiles from Drew but I think it helped to have another child there.  You should have seen the smile that Drew flashed Savannah when she first arrived.  Oh my goodness... it was the sweetest! 

And I learned a new trick... little boys think it's funny when Ms. Kim "falls down"!  I was sitting on the grass and falling over... Drew really got a kick outta that!  But I won't be able to preform this little trick in a few months.  Well, I'll be able to fall over but I might not get back up so easily.  :)  This last shot was from our falling down fun... 

And when we left, I'm not so sure that Drew hated to see me go, but he had gotten a little attached to Savannah.  She was carrying him around and I think he might have stayed with her if given the choice. 

Memories... not only do I preserve them for the parents, but I get to make them for ME!  I love this job.
