This guy was a champ to work with. When I do a photo session I take lots of pictures. Sometimes I'll take 3-6 of the same shot. With kids this is an effort to get a smile with the eyes open so going through the pictures afterwards is pretty quick. With Gio I did the same sequence of shots but in every shot I would get a different equally hilarious expression. It made it a little more difficult to decide on what pictures to keep and edit. Here is a sampling of his photo session.
Usually I don't have my kids with me when I do a photo session but for this one I did. Gio was so excited to have Maven there he just wanted to play so we let them play at the park afterwards.
Maven is 2 and still learning how to interact and play with other kids. A playdate with Maven usually starts out with him being very excited about other kids. They will run around for a while but as soon as toys come out Maven is starting to be very possessive. Once we get the sharing issues worked out it's usually just a few kids playing with toys next to each other.
Gio is a year older than Maven. He is such a great kid. Instead of fighting over a specific toy with Maven he would play with Maven and share the same toy. He was more interested in playing with Maven than the toy. There were no sharing issues just a nice calm play date. I was very impressed with how well they played together.
Hopefully Maven learned a little something from Gio. It wont be long before 3 month old Canon will want to play with Maven and I can only hope Maven starts to pick up on this amazing skill that Gio has.
