What a treat to be in the company of a gleeful little six month old, so excited about their own bodies and thoughts. It's also a reminder that little ones keep us on their schedules, so how do we schedule around them. When Max arrived he was feeling just a little blue and obviously needed some down time. That's just part of a session with me, the flexibility and understanding that while our children are wonderful, getting these glimmering images of them, requires a sensitivity to what they need. So, we turned the lights down and little Max settled into his mommy's arms and a warm bottle of M.I.L.K Creating the perfect setting to get those cuddly close warm moments where they tuck into loving arms and drift off so trusting. Viola, after his quick cat nap he was game for plenty of play. This attitude towards sessions, relaxed, low key, low stress brings out the best in our children and us. If you watch your children, they will mimic the energy levels of those around them. So, when someone is yelling something about smiling and looking and threats and treats... it's a recipe for disaster. Sessions like Max's help us all remember why we are doing this in the first place. To document those moments our children melt our hearts, requires a general sense of peace and trusting that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be.. even when discord rules the moment. Thanks Max for helping us all remember to milk the most out of every moment!
