I got an email from this little guy’s mom just yesterday asking if I could fit in another newborn session. She mentioned that he was already 2 weeks old, and it just happened that I had a cancellation for this morning, so I was able to fit them in just in time. The parents warned me that he’s not a big daytime sleeper, but with a little patience we were able to get him to relax for some sleepy poses as well as some open eyed shots.
It’s fun when I can do a session on the little one’s actual birthday. This little birthday girl turned one yesterday and she came decked out in her birthday princess finery! Both she and her sister enjoyed dancing around in their frilly tutus. In fact, the little one was much more interested in practicing her walking than posing for photos–but that’s par for the course for one-year-olds. Big sister was so much fun–I even caught her trying on mom’s boots!
This little guy was in such fine spirits for our photoshoot yesterday. He and mom arrived a little before dad, and he just had a blast exploring and playing while we were waiting for dad. He certainly kept us moving, but the foggy morning provided nice soft light, so we didn’t have to worry so much about keeping him in one spot and could let him roam.
Just look at the full head of curls on this two-year-old! I worked with him and his family last year when he was just a few months old, and he didn’t have the curls yet. It was so fun to see how much he’s grown. He’s gone from the baby on the blanket (in the photo below) to a playful toddler who loves his football, soccer, and baseball toys.
Gotta love the baby rolls! This little guy had adorable chunky arms and legs, and just look at those cute little toes. We had to work hard, but we did get to see his happy smiles.
I couldn’t resist adding a few extra previews from this session so I could include the tiniest member of the family, an 8-week-old little pup. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day for the session, and their own front yard made a great setting for the portraits.
