The girlfriend gets all excited while the photographer boyfriend becomes all sorts of awkward at having to sit in front of the lens. Not the place he feels comfortable. But in the end, it was worth it. And we had fun. After all, sometimes you only have to take one serious photo, and then you can be goofy. “Christmas Gothic,” for instance.

Christmas photos of Gianna taken at Fell Charter School on the evening of 02 December 2011.

This is Gianna, one of the cutest gals I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and certainly a far cry younger than the high school seniors I’ve been working with!  Her mom wanted photos for the annual Christmas card, so we got together at the local playground and did the a series outdoors.  It took little Gianna a few minutes to warm up to the camera, but after that, she was magic.

With the light failing, we moved inside for some studio shots, with the goal of capturing some more traditional Christmas photos. Gianna had other plans, however, and was much more interested in running round, despite our attempts at distracting her with books, toys, and some silly antics. We managed to get a handful of shots before she tired us out, but I can only share one now – the others are getting printed for Christmas, and her mom doesn’t want to spoil the surprise!

It was a big change working with a such a young subject, but I enjoyed it greatly. Here’s hoping that I’m able to keep working with Gianna and her mom as she grows up!
