Mike and Blanca: Family Portrait

Over Fourth of July weekend, Mike and Blanca invited me out to their home to take pictures of them and their adorable little boy, Nicky. Little did I know, this photo session would be more like an aerobic workout, as I tried to keep up with Nicky! He seemed to think this lady with the camera was all part of a game, so he ran around and babbled and squirmed his way throughout the session.

We tried so hard to coax him into sitting still, but afterward as I edited the session, some of my favorite images are where Nicky is just doing what Nicky wanted to do. His expressions are only matched by how cute he is in person - he has huge dimples and an infectious giggle - and you can really tell how much Mike and Blanca dote on him.

Mike and Blanca, muchas gracias for opening your home to us, for the Taco Man and margaritas, and for allowing me to capture images of your beautiful family!

I absolutely love this picture. Blanca was singing him a Spanish lullaby and Nicky was just mesmerized and lay perfectly still while she was singing.
