I am always in awe of incredibly well-behaved children.
Don’t get me wrong, Rei and Quinny aren’t badly behaved by any means. However, they aren’t (always at least) superbly behaved and have learned to either run or cry when mommy starts shoving a lens in their chubby little faces (really, I can’t imagine why…).
This evening I had the pleasure of photographing an old friend, Lindsey, and her children, Jaden and Smyah (cute name, right? It is pronounced the same way ReiGuy says ‘smile’: smie-uh). Jaden and Smyah blew me away by how pleasant and accommodating they were. There wasn’t a single meltdown and I wasn’t having to chase after either of them as they ran towards the water at Picnic Point Beach in Edmonds.
The last time Jeff and I took ReiGuy (and Quinny) to this beach, the bottoms of his pants were soaked and his shoes were filled with nasty, old, stinky sand in about 3.74 minutes. But not these angel babies. They didn’t even get CLOSE to the water -and Smyah is only three!
Check out Jaden’s eyelashes! To die for!! And both kiddos have full, pouty lips that I’m guessing must have come from their dada (who wasn’t able to make the shoot). Lucky for them! Or, really, lucky for ME! To have the good luck to shoot such beautiful, well mannered, expertly wardrobed kids (and mom) was a dream. Great job, Lindsey!
Enjoy your sneak peek!
Thanks for a great shoot!
