I met Sylvie through my cousin Nicole and her friend Katie.  I knew any friend of theirs would be nothing but sweet.  Within a few minutes of meeting Sylvie,  I knew two things.  She had an awesome French accent and her son, Benji, was her whole world.  We met in Fairfax for his portrait session.  This kid has SO much personality.  Benji is the only kid I’ve met that has to be bribed to come home from school.  Oh, little does he know….  And he knows cars.  Yeah, 3 and a half and he can spot a Toyota a mile away.  Thank you so much Sylvie for letting me capture Benji’s charm.  And Katie and Nicole, thanks for keeping him laughing!  Enjoy a few of my favorites from our day!

Well, let me start with this photo….Meet Monkey – you’ll see him often

Literally the first shot of the day…

We attempted to feed ducks….there weren’t any.  Just a Seagull. Gross.

No really…it was that funny.

I heart fall…

Katie wanted Benji to count 6 leaves…

Success!

A semi-successful sneak attack….

See… adores him.

Thanks again, Sylvie! He was just great!

Oh…and let me end on this image.  This is Nicole. Ya, I’ll claim her as my cousin…Mid swing, answered her cell phone… aaaaaaand continued to swing. Dedication…………or dumb?! You decide. Ha, love ya, Colie!
