Baby’s got the blues

Every baby session, the big question that the parents and I always worry about is “will he be fussy or happy that day?”  It’s always hard to know with babies, whether they’ll be in a good mood at the particular time that you schedule your session.  And not only if they’ll be in a good mood, but if we’ll have good weather too!  So many variables!

But, as Lucas proved last week, you don’t have to be in a great mood to have great photos! Lucas had the beginnings of his first cold, and at five months, that’s a big deal!  So this little boy was not too keen on giggling for the camera.  Of course, it always helps to have amazing parents like Jenn and Chris, who are willing to make funny faces and chewing noises for hours, just to get that little smile and those precious dimples, to show for a few moments.  And when they do – WOW!  Lucas is such a cutie – he really brings sunshine into a room, even when he has tears on his cheeks.

I love the single tear on his cheek in this photo.  It reminds me a little of wet grass after a storm, with the sun peeking through the clouds.  Okay, maybe that was a little cheesy, but look at the photo!  How can you not be cheesy when you see that?!

Meet Bernie, the gentle giant.  He’s so adorable.  He just wants to lick Lucas all over!

And here are those famous dimples!
