lucy y. milestone session: 9 months

if you're new to the blog, this is lucy y., my sweet little friend which i've been photographing since she was born last november. i've had the opportunity to photograph her at each milestone stage, and last week, we got together for her 9-month session.

this little nugget has the sweetest smile, but she's a bit particular about when she shares it... and i've realized it takes more than me making silly sounds and playing peek-a-boo behind my camera. 

she makes me work for her smiles, but i don't mind that at all... lucky for me, her mom knows about a certain smile-spot on her tummy.

and showing off her new walking skills helps a lot, too. :)
