We had so much fun with this photo shoot – it just took us a while to get started!

We had scheduled to meet the family down at the Gazebo in downtown Venice.  On our way to the shoot, we received a phone call from Cait.  They couldn’t find the baby’s diaper bag and were running a little late.  No problem, we’d wait for them.  About 15 minutes later we got a phone call from Matt.  The diaper bag was still missing and they were in an absolute panic! There was no way they could possibly make the photo shoot.  How disappointing.

Mark and I headed across the street to have dinner at TJ Carney’s. We had just ordered drinks when we got a call from Matt –  the diaper bag had reappeared!!!   So they were wondering if we could have the photo shoot after all. Of course!  We walked back to the Gazebo and got started.

Then came the challenge of getting 2 adults, 1 baby, and 2 dogs to all look at the camera at the same time. Not an easy task! But we were able to get some fabulous photos like this one:

After we had a few shots of the whole family,  Mark played with the dogs while I shot Matt and Cait playing with Kylie. Then I took a few of Kylie by herself.  Kylie was in a great mood that day!  But she did keep trying to eat the grass…hehe.  She’s seven months old now so she has just reached the age that she’s able to sit by herself, though she still tips over every once in a while.  Too cute!

Here are a few of our favorite photos from the day. Enjoy!
