Last summer when I met up with Aurora for her 8 month shoot, she was a little reluctant to give up the smiles so for the final shoot of her First Year package, her dad JB and I conspired to come up with a different approach. (Rory actually turned one back in November but between me moving, their family vacation, the holidays and this winter's crazy weather, it was mid-January before we were able to figure out a time to get together!) This time we decided it would be good for Rory to have a little "Sandi time" without the camera before we got to work and it seemed to do the trick. By the time we got down to business, Rory and I were old buds : )
Rory's mom Karen is a professor at Western Washington University, and ever since I met this family last year I thought it would be really fun to document JB and Rory visiting her at work. After a little visit at my house, we headed up to campus to visit Karen. Here are some photos from our on-campus adventure!
Elevator buttons are SO COOL!
Whenever I stopped to take a shot, Rory would stop and turn to make sure I was coming along : )
I think she's saying "Are you coming or what, lady?"
Mama!
Playing with all the fun things in Mom's office was Rory's top priority.

After a bit we headed outside to have some fun. Karen is pregnant with Rory's baby brother so a stop at the restroom was in order. Rory was not interested in staying in the hall with me and decided at the last minute to go in with Dad- which left me free to prepare for the priceless shot below!
Rory's version of "stink-eye".
I love this family shot!
Playing peek-a-boo with Mom...
which Rory thought was hilarious!
I had this girl belly laughing... it was great : )
Rory makes a run for it!
