Thought of the Sandman

[Melody]

Well truthfully the baby looks nothing like Brian, however the session sure made me think of him.

The mom was doing a belated Mother's Day for the babies grandmother.

If you talk to Brian in chat you'll realize some of the similar stuff...the daughters name is Sarah, and this baby is their new grandson...the father is quite into sports and very athletic... The grandparents are wonderful caring people who are helping in anyway possible with the kids getting a start in life with their new baby. The grandmother even started crying during the session with certain poses and moments seeing her little girl all grown up and holding her own child. I tell you it was a real tear jerker...

Tonight I couldn't help myself I just had to to it, I called the daughter and told her the slideshow that plays in my studio window had some of her babies images on it so she could show her dad and the babies dad for Father's Day tomorrow. I'm not suppose to do that it loses impact for sales, however it felt so good I couldn't resist.

Anyway here's a couple of the little guy who brought such emotion to the studio yesterday.

Despite how i come across on here , when it comes to family i'm a very private person .
So although i know exactly what Melodys talking about all i'll say is another good shot Mel .
I'm still not sure about that reflective floor ?

Brian.
And yes i am a grandad again .

[Melody]

Thanks Brian :) The floor comes and goes for me, several have seen shots with it and request it though.

Hey I didn't spill anything! All I meant was that you are a wonderful dad and grandfather. Hehee and that the little guy even though they are baby rolls looks like he has a chest betcha he'll be good in sports or drive a truck if he wants to. This one's daddy plays basketball.

I love seeing the grandparents come in too, it was wonderful to see the love for her daughter every bit as strong as her's is for her new baby even when she's almost grown. Some come in and they are so enchanted with that new grandchild I'm not noticing the spark with their own kid nearly as bright, here I sure did though!

:tongue2: you have an assistant who cleans it :lol:

actually it's easy it's plexiglass not real glass and you can either use amonia and water or those disenfectent wipes it's light and easy to clean. It's nice for the kids you can tell them to play anywhere on it and they most likely will be in the lights range. Advantages they love the sound of walking on it, and you don't have to keep cutting off the seamless from footprints or whatever :)
