Trace
I think my favorite part of doing what I do is when I photograph a child or a family and then they return from time to time for an update. It’s so amazing to see how they’ve grown and changed and I always go back to look at past sessions and am even more amazed to compare the two. I first photographed Trace when he was only a few hours old. I posted about it here. Since then he’s been growing like crazy and making his mama and daddy fall more in love with him every day. He is the happiest baby I’ve ever seen. He’s always smiling and when he laughs he gets so tickled he almost cackles. Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time with this little cutie to celebrate half a year of smiles, laughter, and milestones.
For his 6 month session we had hoped to get outside in the sunshine but the weather didn’t want to cooperate and instead we had cold and rain to contend with. We decided to try some shots at home instead and we had a lot of fun looking for crooks and crannies that gave us some good light. Hopefully soon the weather will warm up and we have plans to try again! I’m definitely looking forward to that! Here’s Trace, 6 month edition.
And finally…corny as it may be I have to say it. I can’t help myself. This kid ROCKS!

Paula, you have captured his essence & personality perfectly, just as you did when he was 18 hours
old. I will cherish these pictures. They made me and his Poppy cry!! I can also send them to my
family and know that they will be able to know and understand Trace as if they had been with him
personally. We have a total of 5 beautiful grandchildren and we hope to have you photograph them
all together soon!
