Stylized Portraiture » child http://www.stylizedportraiture.com Athens and Watkinsville's most awesome portrait experience for babies, kids and families Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:05:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Through the eyes of a child… http://www.stylizedportraiture.com/through-the-eyes-of-a-child/ http://www.stylizedportraiture.com/through-the-eyes-of-a-child/#comments Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:05:20 +0000 Frankie Wylie http://www.stylizedportraiture.com/?p=3027 That’s how I try to approach all my sessions with kids, from their perspective! Really, what kid wants to hang out with some grown up and be told what to do? Heck, I’m not a kid and there are even times *I* don’t want to do that ;)

So, the best way to put them at ease is to just be their friend. You can play and have a good time with them while still capturing their wonderful expressions. Of course, you have to be willing to make yourself look a little silly to the other adults around, but secretly, I am always dying for an excuse to be silly!

These two brothers came by the studio with their mom and dad this morning to hang out and play. And that’s exactly what we did! Did you know that elephants and bears could fly? Did you also know that  you can play a game that is a wonderful mix of “red light, green light” and “freeze tag” and get amazing smiles? I think the best game all day was making an elephant jump out of the soft box ;)

I hope mom and dad had as much fun as I did hanging out this morning. For two hours I got to pretty much forget about my torn abdominal muscle and just be a kid again. Great way to start a Wednesday if you ask me. Well, that and a pain pill  ;)

I sure got my dose of new baby love because my arms are sore today from all the holding and bouncing! I’m in total love with big sisters eyes too, all green and blue, wow! Big brother was confused as to why he was there, but talking about how stinky new sister is made him smile a little.

I always love the magical looks I get out of them too, and everyone notices a Fairytale Princess coming!

She’s probably one of the most self-aware two-year0olds that I’ve ever met! She KNOWS what she wants and she refuses to be sidetracked. She sidestepped all of my tricks too! Plus, I got the bright idea that I wanted to carry that zebra chaise outside for photos, which was quite the workout before I’d had my Diet Coke in the morning. Then she refused to sit on it! I thought all our hard work bringing it out was for nothing, but we finally managed to get her on it by telling her she wasn’t allowed. :P Whew!

They were in last Christmas for a session for their big little man last Novemeber. When mom came to pick up her order, she had found out they were expecting this baby! Exciting stuff I tell ya! Mom gets to remain the sole princess of the house! This time around mom and dad chose to do the Belly to Baby plan and the Tales From the Crib! Stay tuned for baby’s newborn session in a few weeks!!!

They got out of the car and I was like “Oh, I LOVE everyone’s wardrobe!” Very summery! Thank goodness too, because it was 95F and steamy miserable for this session out at the Botanical Gardens last night. We seriously has to slam through it fast because it was about to rain. I felt a few drops while out there, but the skies opened up on my way home for sure. This session was a Celebrating Adoption session for the littlest man of the house. They had to wait two years for him!

It has been so fun to watch them grow. Now that there are three, life has a little more….ummm…..chaos to it :)

This is the first session that all three kiddos were as chipper as could be. Quinn has his dad’s attitude about photos, “No thanks!” But this day, thankfully, he was hamming it up!
