Well … I should probably say, “Suburban Baby.” This is Mr. D. Two years ago, I had the honor of photographing his big brother for his first birthday. This year, it was D’s turn.
This was another session that seemed jinxed, because we had to reschedule at least 4 times due to rain. D’s mom and I worried we might never get a sunny day to create his portraits. Finally, we did! We met at The Forum in Norcross. I loved this setting! Park benches, a fountain, lots of nooks and crannies with bricks and stone and beautiful landscaping. And the soft shade from the store buildings gave us ideal light with lots of room to let the boys explore.




Just look at that adorable smile! It is contagious, isn’t it?


I loved this photograph. Near the end of our session, the boys were intrigued by the toys inside Orvis. Little boys window shopping for stuffed animals. Too cute.




I’m so glad we finally got to meet for our playdate, D! You are a very handsome young man, just like your big brother.
PS – My newsletter went out this morning. If you are on my mailing list and you did not receive it, or if you want to be on my mailing list, please email me.
In the newsletter, I let everyone know that next week I will be making some changes to my email system, in hopes of solving my ongoing and incredibly frustrating problem of vanishing emails. At any given time June 2-5, my email could hiccup during the transition. If you email me next week (or anytime) and don’t hear back from me in a reasonable time frame, please contact me again by phone or email. I really hope my email troubles will be resolved after next week. Thank you so much for your patience and cooperation.
