Oh how I love my “Athena Sessions”. Athena is another baby that I’ve been lucky enough to watch grow from the time she was just 3 months. Kevin, my husband, who is usually sitting somewhere near when I do my editing refers to her as “the really pretty baby”.

“Oh, you have Athena’s session coming up? She’s the really pretty baby, right?” He’s right. She’s lovely. And she just gets prettier.

I was meant to be a baby and children photographer. I’ll occasionally shoot an engagement or senior session, sometimes even throw a wedding into the mix, but the babies are my heart. Sadly, however, I am not always theirs. Usually I only show the pretty side of children photography. Someday soon I’ll show you a whole roll of bloopers….like this one:

As it turns out, toddlers have their opinions too. (who knew? :)) Sometimes they cry, sometimes they run, or sometimes they’ll flat out tell me “No.” But eventually they warm up (or just realize the lady with the camera won’t stop following them around until they give in).
