In Memory of Soft Whispy Curls

Dena has a thing about baby hair … she likes to let it grow and grow and grow and grow and grow.  Her baby is nearing 3, and she asked me to photograph his long hair in preparation for his first haircut.

My first attempt was a bust – I really needed Dena there as an “assistant” to help occupy the little guy while I attempted the close ups.  In the end, it took both of us shooting and a bowl of chocolate chips to record the last bit of “baby” Cameron.  And I’m so glad we did … because after a weekend snow storm and a serious bout of cabin fever, this long hair is no more.  I still can’t believe she did it.

Dena - Oh my oh my oh my baby. These are so perfect. That's it. He's growing it out again. I still can't believe I did it either. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that if I didn't, you or Dan would have brought out the scissors soon...February 1, 2010 - 8:41 pm
