{The Whitacre Family} Colorado Springs Family Photographer

So, just to start out prefacing this session...these are our old neighbors before we moved this last February & they are some of the BEST NEIGHBORS anyone could ask for & we miss them dearly! If we could have hand-picked in our new neighborhood, we certainly would have brought them with us!=) So, Kim aka: Mom, warned me when she booked this session what a stinker, Jessi is (their youngest) & I was so confident in working with other toddlers & "Stinkers" I said, "I'm not too worried!" Well, ha! In all fairness...she warned me. I couldn't break him from his scowly frown the whole session long. LOL!!! I pulled out all the stops: dancing like a monkey, running games, silly faces, jokes, you name it, I tried it & it flat out didn't work. William, on the other hand, (their oldest) he cracks himself up...he laughed willingly at EVERYTHING during the course of the session & had me in stitches. Johnathan aka: dad, is just sweet & quiet & patient while I attempted to work my magic. After the first 45 minutes, we all agreed, we would just do the best we could & deal with the non-smiling toddler. LOL! So, that's what we did. I still think their pics turned out adorbs. Here are a few from their mountainy backdrop session (near our old stomping ground)...
