Michelle contacted me a while back about a portrait session with her husband and their baby Marcus. We booked a date, but then woke up to the greyest day imaginable, so rebooked in the hopes of hitting some great evening light. Well on the second time around, great evening light we got – Elgin Park was pretty much glowing. :)
I always think it’s so amazing how people start showing personality at such a young age. Marcus is a serious grown-up in a baby’s body. He had the cutest expressions – his best one was a mix of worry/deep in thought. We managed to sneak a few smiles out of him too though. :D This is what I think Marcus was trying to say in the image below: “Gosh, Rebecca, that sun is getting pretty low – are you sure we have enough light left for my close-up?” :P

Marcus’ Grandma tagged along to help get some smiles out of Marcus – she was really good at it! Here she is telling her grandson to check out the boats on the river.![blog[cl]tovell0259](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/blogcltovell0259-800x542.jpg "blog[cl]tovell0259")

These two below I think are my favourites – I really like the framing on the last one.![blog[cl]tovell0236](http://rphotographer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/blogcltovell0236-543x800.jpg "blog[cl]tovell0236")

Thankyou to all four of you for such a nice evening! It was so relaxing hanging out with you, and so fun getting to know Marcus. Have fun looking back on these as you watch him grow! :)
