“Real Life” Olivia

I always feel like time is flying by when I take these monthly photos of sweet little Olivia! She is now a little over four months old, and its has been so much fun to watch her grow! Since we are taking these every month, I thought it would be fun to have one of our monthly sessions be a little bit more photojournalistic.

I told Chris and Regina that I just wanted to come over and take some pictures while they went through their nightly routine.  We had planned to incorporate a bath and a feeding (Since she is now working on solid foods for the first time), but Olivia wasn’t up for all of that! So…we just focused on getting some cute ones of them just cuddled up on the couch.

Even though my photography style is not ultra pose-y, I really like this idea to do with babies every once and a while.  No, I do not have kids..but I can only imagine that what these type of pictures capture are going to be the times you want to remember.  Not dressing them up in a fancy dress, while bribing them with treats in order for them to smile for the “girl with the camera.” But the moments you spend at night, as a family, in your home.

It truly is a joy to be able to capture people just simply living their lives.  What a fun job I have!
