Today I traveled up the 405 freeway (which was insane by the way, a RV was on fire and it looked like I was driving in to hell with all that smoke and fire going across the freeway, I hope the drivers are ok) to photograph a 150 year old. Ok ok so my little client today is only six months but his christening dress is 150 years old! His Mom was photographed in this dress when she was three months old, so his wonderful grandmother just couldn’t resist the chance to try and recreate the same photo all these years later. He came all the way from North Carolina for our session today.
Now I tell you, this little guy was so sweet and such a trooper, especially since it was pushing 100 degrees today, he just smiled and laughed and had the best time. So he’s wearing the same christening dress and sitting in the same chair that his mother sat in (although it’s been reupholstered so it looks a little different now)
So here is the super happy and oh so sweet little Connor, he makes me smile

Angela…we just fell in love with the photo of Connor in his mother’s child chair in the living room. It made everyone smile! We are now so sad to have just met you and realize you are moving to Atlanta and won’t be available for more photos of Connor as he grows. However, my daughter said Atlanta is only a 3 hour drive from Charlotte…so I think you will be seeing this little man in your near future! Good luck in Atlanta….they are lucky to have you moving there!
