When you think Fall or even Christmas for that matter, you think warm sweaters, hats, mittens and cold weather, right?  Well not for this session.  We had almost 80 degrees in late afternoon.

This was nothing like our Christmas session last year.  Monica and Elgin were the first appointment and it was cold out.  Austin was not himself, and just didn't want to get out of Mommy's arms.  We walked around the trees,  sang some songs and read a book.  In the end, we got a few pictures that included Austin's little friend Pooh Bear and off they went.  I got a message from Monica later that day that said Austin went home and had a high grade fever and was snuggling with her on the couch.  Now we know why he wasn't himself.

This year was a completely different story.   The day was unseasonably warm, and definitely not very Christmas like, but the pictures we got are fantastic.   Austin showed up with Pooh Bear again, and at first did NOT want to sit down for pictures.  So I asked him if it was OK to take some pictures of Pooh?  Austin thought about it for a nano second and then went to set Pooh up for his picture.  Once I took the shot, Austin came over and said "I see?" and looked at the back of the camera for the picture.  Oh my heart!

This warmed him up enough to get him to sit with his parents.  After each set we did, Austin would jump up and say "All done now" Ha Ha! 

It was great to walk around an area that I had been to many many times, and feel like I was seeing it for the fiirst time because I was experiencing it through Austin's eyes.

Here are a few of my favorites from The Booth's family session :-)
