It turns out that even during the pandemic of this past year, people are still having babies. I had a couple of new people into the studio this week. Meet Alexandria or AJ for short. AJ came in because all her older sisters and brothers came in to have me, Mr. Dan, take their pictures. AJ has two older sisters, nine years and five years, and an older brother turning 3. She didn’t want to be left out from all the fun we have during our baby photography sessions and asked her Mom to bring her in as soon as she was old enough. My year-long baby photography plan typically starts with a three-month session when the babies can hold their heads up and smile. AJ was at that point and was excited to meet Mr. Dan. Her older sisters and brothers told her all about the fun they had. I can’t wait for the next nine months of photography and watching her grow.
Jason was just one month old when he came in with his Mom, Dad, and older sister. Jason just moved here from California. His dad is in the Air Force and was transferred to Wright Patterson Air Force base. According to Jason’s older four-year-old sister, there wasn’t much for a kid to do at the dessert airbase Dad was last at and heard Dayton had great kids’ museums, parks, and schools. Jason wanted photographs with his Mom, Dad, and Sister because, as he put it, “you know, I’m not going to be this stinking cute forever!” He also wanted to see Mr. Dan for the whole year and asked his parents to sign up for the year-long Baby Photography Plan. In his case, a one-month portrait session, three months, six months, nine months, and a one-year baby portrait.
What happens when you bring your older brothers and sisters to a smash cake session? They want to help. That’s what happened when Annabelle had her one-year portrait session as part of Mr. Dan’s Baby Photography Plan. It is a big cake for a one-year-old, and it would be a shame for all that extra cake to go to waste. The older kids were more than happy to help make the cake disappear.
