What a Witch | Dallas Childrens Photographer

Mackay was just looking so cute in her witch costume I knew I had to do a photoshoot with her.  The weekend I had planned to go out, Nate was out of town.  But I bravely accepted the challenge.  So, Zack in a stroller with a bazillion books and toys, hanging out right beside me on this wooded trail worked out pretty well.  Surprisingly.  There were a few shots I didn’t get that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish I could have.  But by that time Zack was out of his stroller and running either a) down the path, or b) toward the parking lot.

On the drive there I was trying to prep Mackay.  (Children of photographers have a hard lot in life, I’m telling you.)  I told her that when we got to our location I wanted her to “cooperate”.  Why do you want me to cooperate? Mackay asked.  Because we want the pictures to turn out really nice, I tried to tell her.  Why do we need nice pictures? she asked.  Because we did your hair and make-up and are driving out to a special location, I told her.  The conversation, somehow, miraculously worked.  I had about 15 minutes of her time where I could actually tell her what to do and she actually did it.  A true miracle, indeed.

So without further adieu, meet my little witch.  And her witch mop.I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween.  And I hope your kids get lots of candy–all the kinds that you enjoy secretly eating when they aren’t watching.  C’mon.  You know we all do it.
