I admit.. 18 months to 3 years old is the hardest to photograph. Most of the time, they want nothing to do with any of this whole “photography thing.” Sometimes they hide. Sometimes they cling to Mommy. And sometimes they run. Little man “N” was a champion runner. I have to admit… 50% of the picture that I got of him on the UVA Lawn were of his back. Here is an example of one of our the 1st pics I took… Running with a bit of “Hold Me Mommy” mixed in.

With a little time.. they usually come around. If even for brief moments, I’m there to capture it. What Mr. N wanted most was to be thrown, tickled and sung to… so we all obliged! After some practice.. Mommy, Daddy and Photog perfected the “Throw, Tickle, Pause” technique. (I’m going to have to patent that one!) Thanks for letting me capture some final Charlottesville memories for you H Family. Good luck with new jobs and a new city!
