I figured this post, of Miss N’s portrait session, would be appropriate this week due to the release of the new Harry Potter movie. Miss N, a giggly eight year old who loves to read, is a huge fan of both the books and the movies. So much so that when we were getting ready for her portrait session, she stopped and asked me who she looked like. When I paused, she quickly replied, “Rita Skeeter, right? I mean, if I had a quill.” I giggled and agreed. (For anyone who’s not familiar with Harry Potter, she is a reporter in the book who writes some not nice articles about Harry. ) It seemed only fitting that we do Miss N’s pictures with her Harry Potter books and memorabilia. And we had a wonderful time. We giggled our way through the entire session and even had Emily, her guinea pig, join in the fun.
She is adorable. Can’t you hear the giggle in this next picture? She sure had lots of them. Quite the gigglebox.
She’s beautiful. And she’s getting so big! Check out the serious face next. Those serious faces didn’t last long, and she soon erupted into lots of giggles, but they are stunning while they lasted.
Here’s Emily! She is the cutest guinea pig I have ever seen.
That last one is one of my favorites!
Amanda and I tried something a little different in these pictures. We wanted to try photographing Miss N and her brother and sister (posts coming soon) in their rooms, capturing their personalities, and what is important to them. We had an amazing time with these sessions, and the kids seemed to have a lot more fun with the portraits, since we photographed them in an environment that was very family to them. I hope that they cherish these portraits when they get older and are able to look back and catch a glimpse of themselves.
