All I can say is Little Nolan is crazy… smart, funny, silly, and totally a ham!  Can’t you tell.  Oh and he can brake out a good ‘ABC’ song whenever you want him too.  Gotta love it.  So as we ventured all around downtown… I kept finding killer spots that I hadn’t photographed in.  And got to experiment new posing ideas that I’ve been meaning to accomplish… with some oh so fabuloso lighting.  I am totally thrilled with what I got.  Ah-mazing variety & expressions filled the air. First off I want to thank the Himes family for being themselves.  I know it’s awkward at first to have someone staring you directly in the face with some large obtruesse metal piece of equipment (ha I like how I try to describe my camera as if it’s this huge expensive ‘don’t get in my way’ thing… cause it’s NOT) … but then it just sort of becomes one of my limbs. Seriously.  Then you don’t pay any attention to it and can be yourself.  That’s also why I don’t pose people… I direct. Yep that’s it. That simple & laid back.  I didn’t tell Nolan to stick out his tongue, to do the cutest most irresistible smirk that makes you chuckle every time you look at it, or better yet have adult conversations like… “Casia… where’s that guy that lives with you?… where did he go?!”. Instead of saying ‘your husband’. Yes that’s what we asked when Eric was hiding trying not to be in the shot.  How silly is that… I thought it was so cleverly witty coming from a 3 year old.  Kids say the darn-est things and when you least expect them. That’s why I LOVE doing me2 family portrait sessions.  I feel that ever since my days at the old portrait studio (which will remain name-less) I have always had a way with kids.  Maybe it’s because I’m not this tall-overbearing-stern-adult. I’m more on their level. Sometimes I wonder if they think I’m just a more mature kiddo.  If that makes sense?.  Plus it gives me a super duper advantage of getting the shots from their point of view. Maybe this is my style and the best way I can describe it.  mmmm I’m on to something. Anyhow Tim, Sara, and Nolan you ROCKED it and I can’t wait to see you guys for many more me2 sessions & gatherings to come.
