Child Photography
These are the ones
…that make me so happy! It’s sessions just like this one that make me giddy! I can really do these types of sessions every day! I just love the dynamic nature of family shoots with toddlers. Yes, it can be challenging (with tantrums and all), but it’s hilarious and absolutely FUN. In this case though, no major tantrums at all! She was a perfect little model 
As long as she had a little cuddle time with mommy and daddy…and a little thumb sucking, she was good to go – plus, aren’t thumb sucking shots the cutest?! There was really nothing more I could ask for. We were at a beautiful location, it was nice and cloudy (my giant softbox), parents were gorgeous…and my main subject was a sweet, charming, adorable blue-eyed toddler! No doubt, I had an amazing time photographing this lovely family of three — and what better way to celebrate baby girl’s 2nd birthday than with a photo shoot?! I had an extremely difficult time choosing a few to blog! I’ll definitely be sharing this session in full soon
All I need
When I’m photographing a family as energetic, fun, beautiful and full of love as this, all I need is an hour – just an hour! Not only did we knock it out super fast, the kids were just so charming, cooperative, willing and excited about being photographed I had an amazing time hanging out with this great bunch – observing the loving connections they had with each other…what was especially sweet was how big sister looked after and adored her little brother – it was so, so sweet. Here are few faves of the day. The first photo is my favorite, hands down!
All aboard
These old trains knocked my socks off! It’s like I was transported back in time…when these trains were used as a major source of transportation. They were colorful, BIG, and full of character. A totally awesome photo session location – I’d be surprised if any toddler didn’t find this place awesome.
Looking spiffy
Baby it’s cold outside! I just love cold weather. The air is so crisp, so clean – especially after the rain. It’s also a perfect opportunity to accessorize with scarves, jackets, knits & lots of layering. Here are some ideas for family photo sessions with cooler weather in mind. I adore winter clothes!
Made you look
One thing I’ve learned about photographing toddlers is that you should never ask them to do anything directly. Make everything a game. Case and point below:
Pretty times two
A pretty, pretty little baby girl! Her eyes and lashes are just beautiful.
Catch me if you can
“Still?” I have no idea what the word “still” means…I only know what the words “run” and “avoid” mean…
It’s possible
…to keep them this way forever. What makes a photo so special is how it can take you on a trip back in time to that very moment it was taken. Remembering how small, sweet and precious our little ones were – and how years past seem like just yesterday…I just love these images – sleeping shots of toddlers are just as beautiful as newborns…
I’ll give you 5 seconds…
…for a photo! This is always the case when photographing toddlers

Brush, anyone?
My current favorite location. Just down the street from my house – a little secret spot. How can you not love railroad tracks, brush, dirt & rocks? It’s the countryside right in the middle of the city!
