Ozark Family

I will probably never forget this session for a couple reasons.  One, the main purpose of this particular session was to get pictures of grandma and grandpa with their granddaughter. Seems easy enough right? Wrong. Grandma and Grandpa don't live in NV. They live in Louisiana. So, as much as they can see their precious granddaughter, she, the granddaughter, isn't entirely sure she remembers them until they get to spend time together and she builds up that trust and such. GUESS when grandma and grandpa got to town? You guessed it...that day! The day we were doing pictures. So, you can almost sense her insecurity right through the pictures. Upset, Untrustworthy, Unsure.

We tried many different things, holding hands, feeding fish, throwing rocks and collecting feathers. Eventually, she did come around. She actually became a little social butterfly, dancing and twirling all around. But getting her to sit still for any pictures was almost harder than getting her to smile with grandma and grandpa. LOL! Especially because we were trying to keep her happy. 

Small children are unpredictable. The cutest on the planet, but unpredictable. So, I'm always on my toes with little ones. Mostly just trying to get them to relax and have fun. Eventually, it pays off, but it can also be the biggest challenge.

The last reason why I will never forget this session, were the animals that we found ourselves in and around.  Completely not on purpose. Baby geese and Grown geese just all around. Super beautiful.
