The firetruck is a piece of history I had the awesome opportunity of borrowing from Tamma’s Magic Mercantile, an awesome antique store in town I’ve been frequenting since we first moved here (they don’t have a website or a facebook page, but I still have to give Tamma a shout out and tell you to go visit and buy something!) And Callan, typical boy, was into it from the moment he saw it. Having now completed 13 sessions with this little guy, I can say that this was HIS obvious favorite session. During his tearful cake smash at his twelve month session a couple of weeks ago (yes, it’s been that long!), I was chatting with his mom about what a truly amazing baby he’s been over the past year, consistently good-natured. Some sessions have been cheerier than others, but he’s never given us a hard time… until the cakes smash (HA! Look for that post coming up at some point in the future), and that was really only a few minutes out of an otherwise great session. So it says a lot when I say that this was his favorite. He really enjoyed himself acting the fireman! I love creating shooting environments for my little ones that allow them to interact and HAVE FUN! If there’s one thing that’s always true about little ones, they don’t smile on command. You have to give them a reason. And it’s so rewarding (for me and for the parents who help me plan!) to earn those smiles.
{This session is a part of a “Year in the Life” of Callan package, a series of sessions designed to commemorate his first year. You can check out more of his sessions and other baby’s sessions by following this link. If you’re expecting and interested in a commemorative series of your baby’s first year, please contact us for more details.}
What a hunk. <3
