Toddler + Leaves = Pure Delight!

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

I had so much fun photographing this sweet little girl playing in the leaves. Mom wanted a nice photo for a holiday card. Simple. easy. peasy ~ not! I think I got my exercise for the week that day running around. I’d love to have some of that toddler energy, any way to bottle it up? But after all that running and jumping and crawling and falling, we did end up with some really nice portraits showing all her different expressions. And here are my favorites from our session in the crunchy leaves ~

Fun in the Park ~ A Children’s Portrait Session

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

 

I enjoyed working with this sweet mom and her two little ones. Mom wanted to surprise her husband with portraits of their children in the park ~ as holiday gifts. So we had a blast! The children ran around, I ran after them, back and forth over the leaves, behind the trees and in between the branches ~ and here are the portraits from our fun session together in the park ~

Fun Loving Family

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I enjoyed photographing this lovely family ~ Sweet parents and adorable little boys. We chose to photograph in the garden and then later at a nearby park for a variety of settings. The boys kept busy in their back yard playing with their toys and exploring the trees, grass and dirt! Spring time is perfect for a family photo session – everything is coming alive and each day looks a little bit different. I am honored to photograph these handsome brothers and their parents! So I wanted to share with you a few of my favorites from their family photo session ~
