The Duncan Family

Almost 2 years ago, Austin and Merilly had me shoot photos of Adeline when she was about 4 months old. Now that their second daughter, Ella, is about the same age, they asked me to come do it again.

I know a lot of photographers have great success getting little kids to smile using things that squeek. So I brought a little squeeky rubber chicken, thinking I was totally prepared. It completely backfired. Adeline wanted to hold it, but once she got her hands on it, she didn’t want anything to do with it. Basically, she just didn’t want me to squeek it. I obviously have a lot to learn about the art of squeeker toys.

Nevertheless, we had a great time, and (I think) got some great photos. Enjoy them for yourself below, and as always, leave a comment with your thoughts!

    as “grammy” to Addie & Ella, you captured their personalities so beautifully. Also, Merilly & Austin are such a handsome couple and the entire family looks so happy. thank you for being such a good photographer and making Addie smile even though she doesn’t like squeeky toys! beautiful job!
