Toddling Around

Today I had the opportunity to photograph a 2 year old boy around a local park with a beautiful lake loaded with geese in the background.  It was my first shoot of a toddler, as I needed some toddlers & also some boy pics for my portfolio.  He is all boy - running, getting sweaty, climbing trees, and not too interested in posing for me!  And I was interested to see that he turns away from the camera just as much or more than my almost 1 year old!  I guess that doesn't get better for a while!  OH yeah - and he wanted to wear his rain boots.....but his mom said, maybe it'll work because toddlers are quirky anyways!  Here's some of my fave shots from today:

11 Month Shots

Well, we're one month away (actually less) from the big 1.0 years!  Here's our last installment of some photos of my little girl before the big year mark.

 

Family Session

Last week, I had the oppotunity to photograph the "E" family with their pride and joy - little Miss "S" at a park near both of our houses.  It was a great shoot & Miss "S" was such a doll!  She is so sweet & was happy to be held in most of the pictures & then did some shots sitting & crawling.  I was glad to get to photograph her before she gets too mobile since she is crawling but doesn't go too far too quickly (yet).  Here are some of my favorites from the photo shoot.

10 Month Shots

A few weeks ago, I got to do a few sessions for my baby's 10 month shots since we were at both of her grandparents houses that week - I had extra hands to get her to smile, etc.  Not having to do both entertainment & photographing, and just focusing on taking pictures - I was able to get some good shots this month.  Not to mention, one house had the beach as a background & the other a well maintained yard!

Almost 1 Year Shots

Today, I had alot of fun taking some photos of little "M" in preparation of her first birthday coming up in a just a little over a month. Her mom wanted to get some photos of her to use for invitations and to have framed at her party (you may remember these two from this previous post). We took advantage of the slightly cooler weather today and took the shots outside in their front yard. Here are some of my favorite shots.....

Fun at Home

I've been trying to practice taking photos during the day of Mackenzie just doing her thing (playing, mostly!). I've managed to a get some good shots of her just playing & I kind of like the non-posed, regular clothes-type shots. Take a look!

Photos on the Deck - 4 Month Shots

This weekend I was able to photograph little baby "B" for some summer photos outside on my deck. He seemed to be having fun & we got some cute photos.....that is until we put him in my little basket. He didn't appreciate that! So, we stuck with other positions that were more pleasing! Here's some of my faves.....
