Jessica - {Burley Childrens Photographer}
I have been doing Jessica's portraits since she was a little newborn. The thing you need to know about Jessie is that she does NOT like cameras. Every time she sees one she screams bloody murder until the camera is gone. Last year when she turned one we actually had to reschedule her session because she was just too upset. This is in stark contrast to her big sister, Krystal, who is a total ham in front of the camera.
This year we decided to try a different approach. We thought if we took her to a nice park and let her run around, she would be much more comfortable. And it worked! We got far more smiles, and far fewer tears, although she was still not interested in the camera, or in having her picture taken. In fact, she was far more interested in playing in the water, the sand, or the grass, lol.
But when she did look up and smile (mostly at my crazy antics), her smile lit her face like sunshine, and her pretty eyes sparkled. And it is those moments I live for. I work hard, so I can get those little glimpses of pure, unadulterated joy.
