Today HIP Studio traveled to Old Town Alexandria to catch up with a couple very sweet kiddos! Now Miss P has been my superstar this summer. She joined in for a session with her cousin, then she welcomed a baby brother, and now she’s made it back to DC to hang out with her other little brother! And rumor has it that she may have even spent some time in England. Whew, world class traveler! I must say that she is the most helpful 8 year old I’ve ever met (coming from the mother of an 8 year old). So today little brother Z put her to the test. He did not want me to take his picture. His mission was to avoid my camera. At one point when he and his dad were walking– everytime he would pass me by, he would look and shake his little finger and say “No, no!” I knew I was in trouble– but this dad did not give up– he had the great idea to go for ice cream! I knew what that meant– 2 year old + hot day + ice cream = happy + messy 2 year old! BUT it was so worth it to get genuine expressions from this little man! Dad saved the day! Yay!
So here we are before ice cream. Mr Z. is thinking of a new plan to allude Stephanie and her camera! Miss P waits patiently hoping that she’ll have the chance to turn and smile for a quick photo of the two of them.

And here goes the ice cream:

Mr Z. lets out his most fierce victory laugh…

And Miss P delicately eats her ice cream in a nearby alley:

Many more to come! Have a wonderful weekend!
