Undeniably Cute (Cassandra)

The thing about photographing babies and children is that everything is totally spontaneous!  And I like spontaneity; it’s real and natural.  It also keeps me on my toes during a session.  This session with Cassandra was no exemption.

Cassandra is one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met.  You can just look at her and she  immediately smiles.  OK, I know what your thinking... taking photos of her was probably simple.. I mean she’s a smiley baby, right?   To my surprise, she was not pleased when I put her in the spot-light.  Literally, I think my lighting was a little frighting to her.  And the Damask backdrop (the black&white one) made her peculiarly curious, it was the cutest thing ever.  So, how was I able to capture so many adorable photos?  One, the subject was undeniably cute.  Two, lots of patience, creativity, rattles, toys and even a made up song, I’d like to call the “Cassandra song”.  She loved it and even danced to the rhythm.

Let me just say that I’ve never had such a hard time deciding on which photos to share.  There were so many awesome ones, I just wanted to upload them all!  But that would be one L O N G post.  Here are just a few photos of this gorgeous baby.  She has the most adorable smile... she is so cute!
