I had the opportunity to photograph this wonderful family and had such a great time with them and my camera. Their little guy was only a week old in these portraits and he was quite the model. You'll notice that he is smiling in some of the images, I love that! He was awake the entire session and did not cry or make a sound except to let his mommy know he needed a small snack 3/4 of the way through. I stand amazed! Of course, his big sister was also a charmer and I couldn't believe how she was able to genuinely smile on demand. Most 2 year olds do NOT have that capability!
Anyway, I truly had fun and was blessed to see such a happy, calm, growing family... that is not something you see everyday.

This session left a smile on my face! I met Michelle, a mommy - soon to be of 2 - and her sweet little 2 year old. Her little girl was very unsure of me and my camera at the beginning of the session, but once I mentioned "candy" became the camera's best friend! The difference was astounding. I don't think I will leave home without my arsenal of goodies again, and if I do I will sorely miss what could have been... I LOVE the shot at the end when the little girl is doing her happy dance back to the car. With 2 kids of my own this brings back memories of their little antics! I just love it!
In July, look for more of this little family once the new little one has arrived... I can't wait!
