Welcome to my second mini session post! If you are unaware of what a "mini session" is, you are in luck, because I am about to tell you. To put it simply, a "Mini Session" is a photo shoot in a fraction of the time a usual shoot would take. Nothing else lacks - photos are not uglier or less creative - and you still receive every beautiful shot that was taken. If anything, I do tend to shoot more and cram in more fun props because of the fact that the subject has less time to warm up to the camera. PLUS you get out of the Texas heat faster! ;)
For my second slot in my first mini sessions, my subject was Evan! I have known his family since way before he was even close to existing, so to say the least, it was a personal honor. Evan is incredibly scrumptious and very shy. Many of the first photos that were taken were of a tear-soaked, red-eyed crying baby. Now I am certain most photographers would not share this detail in a blog post, but I want to! To help encourage moms and dads when thinking about doing a photo shoot, that even if the kids are not 100% perfect or maybe they are a little too restless, that it does not mean a perfect photo is hopeless. The job that I have put on myself is to capture life has it happens. I want Sally (yes, I am using a cheesy name as an example) and her sister to suddenly crack each other up or to be silly and run in circles because that's what they love doing at home and I want to capture that happy memory.
Yes, I did blog a little more than I typically do for these sessions, but I could not resist. These photos were so much fun and they are kind of a turning point in my "career" (sounds pretty epic, I know). So without further ado, Evan!!!!!

Thanks to mom for bringing some awesome props!!
And he has finally decided that this is fun and not life-threatening. Ha-ha
My heart kind of melts when I look at this photo!
Then he became Mr. model
