I chose Averie for my photo of the week, mostly because I would rather photograph children than anything else. She also has these wonderfully beautiful, mesmerizing eyes that just looked right through me. It was as though she knew what we were trying to accomplish and enjoyed the attention that her mom and I were showering upon her.
During the beginning of the session she was awake and alert and very responsive to the various poses her mom and I were forcing upon her. No small feat for a two month old. But, later we had an accident and got hungry and, you know stuff happens. After a quick lunch break, for Averie not me, she instantly fell asleep. Her mom kept poking her trying to get her to wake up and smile or something, but nothing seemed to stir her. I just told her to let her sleep and we would make that moment special too. After several pose changes, Averie decided to wake up and check out all the excitement once again. This is when I captured what I consider her best side. What do you think, don’t you just get lost in those eyes? What a beautiful child she is.
Yes, very beautiful eyes. Nice capture of that “special” moment when they take their time to give you the once over.
She is adorable! You have a way with children’s photos! Love it.
