Ha! We always laugh because we know we’ll be seeing our clients from 0-4 years old, no problem. They still have all their baby teeth, they are still developing their personalities, and they don’t talk back all that much
But when they hit 6 or 7, it’s like they drop off the face of the earth and we don’t see them until they are 16! I love when a family of older kids comes in! It gives me a chance to capture that transition in their lives from little kid to big kid. Where they no longer think of themselves as babies, but aren’t quite preteen. There are grown up teeth mixed in with baby teeth, chubby cheeks thinning out, and the long lanky limbs waiting to bulk up with muscle! Yes, I love the elementary age in photographs! If you thought they changed a lot from 1 year to 4, just wait for the jump from 6-9! It’s incredible to actually see them becoming “big kids”
Thanks for bringing your crew out for a long overdue family session! As a parent, I know what a fun (and sometimes hair pulling) stage this is! Also, yes, first time I believe I posted all BW photos on the blog. But, man! I just love the soulfulness of them!
