More often than not, I never get to meet clients before their actual sessions...especially families and children. So I never really know what I'm going to be dealing with. I'm sure it's a little freaky for kids to all of a sudden have some stranger stick a big black boxy looking thing in their faces, too. With this in mind, my goal for each session is to just make it as laid back as possible. I try not to schedule sessions back to back so that we're never in a time crunch, I interact with the children for a few minutes before starting so they can get to know me a bit, then I just let the kids do their own thing, while making the parents feel comfortable knowing that we WILL get something usable and hopefully great out of their session.
When I met up with Rhett and his mom, Julie, he was a little shy but such a cutie that I new we would have fun. It took Rhett a good 30 minutes to really break out of his shell but when he did it was fabulous. He was running around laughing, being ornery, exploring, etc. I had a lot of fun shooting him for sure! Rhett's smile and laugh are infectious. Here are some of my favorites from his session.
