This baby's family walked into the studio with 3 children, a new puppy and flowers. Oh, my! Flowers for me! I was so flattered and surprised! A one month old baby, a preschooler, one in gradeschool and a puppy, AND they were organized enough to not only prepare for a photo session, but also manage to get flowers for their photographer on the way? Wow...I am impressed!!! I *heart* my work!
The days before this session, I began thinking I wanted to add a special touch to his session. Something handmade, I thought. When I was a child my grandmother taught me to crochet and knit. My mom helped, too. I've knitted on and off for years, but never really did much crocheting of late. Well, I found an ADORABLE pattern for this cap from Sunset Crocheton Etsy. I started working on it, and VOILA! I finished it in an evening. Then, the night before the session, I knew I needed a diaper cover. So, at 9:30pm I started on that. I wasn't sure I had enough of the same yarn left to do it, but I thought I would give it a try. Well, low and behold...I finished it around 11pm. I had only inches to spare on the yarn. PHEW!! I added a ribbon and it looked gorgeous!
He looked so handsome in this cap with a brim and the diaper cover. What a beautiful baby, beautiful family! I am lucky to know them and photograph them. :)
I didn't know you knitted this cap just for this session, I love it even more now. You are so very talented and a pleasure to work with. The complete package as a photographer and then some.
