coming out to play...

My favorite part of this photo shoot was the last 20 minutes or so, which is when we got both of these shots. There is almost always THIS moment in a photo session--when whoever I'm photographing finally settles in and I get the chance to really capture who they are right now, in this place and at this time. It's almost a tangible thing and I wait for it. Sometimes it happens really quickly and sometimes you have to just wait it out. Carter and Reagan were fantastic subjects--they sat wherever, smiled whenever, did whatever I asked them to do--you can't ask for more than that. But the best part was when they thought that we were done and the session was over! That's when their JOY came out to play.
