As a photographer, I spend more time behind the camera than I do in front of it. And while I'm very familiar with what I see behind the lens, I don't often see what it's like from the perspective of my subjects. For my recent Father's Day micro-sessions at Baby on the Hip, I was lucky enough to have my hubby and my daughter tag along with me during the sessions, and they were more than happy to serve as my assistants.

My daughter enjoyed setting up some of the toys that we borrowed from Baby on the Hip for the occasion, opening and closing the gate to the little patio area that we used for the sessions, and she even took some fake pics with my little keychain camera. My hubby held an umbrella for shade from the strong afternoon sun, and, as an extra-special treat, he took some behind-the-scenes photos of me. Here's a little compilation that I put together of some of these photos.

If you have an upcoming session with me, I invite you to whip out your camera phone and take some behind-the-scenes photos for me to post on social media. In return, you'll receive a special gift from me as thanks!
