I know the years are flying by when I’m suddenly creating beautiful newborn baby portraits for one of my wedding couple’s third baby! It’s been such a joy to photograph so many family milestones for John and Lauren. They have the most gorgeous babies who sleep really soundly. Aren’t all their children adorable!?
Happy Harper is 22 months old and full of life! You may remember her from her newborn portraits or baby pictures last fall. She and her personality have grown and she’s so much fun! She loves people and is the first toddler I’ve ever photographed who noticed that when I’d go back behind the camera it was like playing peak a boo with her. And she would stop exploring to join in a song, complete with the motions. I think she may have something in her hand in every picture as she found little treasures along the way. She was in constant motion and really doesn’t stop smiling either. And her curls are so cute!
I loved photographing Nate and Trent and their parents; they are such sweet boys! It wouldn’t be fall without seeing them! One of the most fun parts of my job is creating portraits of kids annually, and watching them grow into wonderful personalities. Not to mention, they finally have the routine down and the portrait session isn’t too painful for anyone.
Watching siblings interact and their relationship grow is also entertaining! Those outtakes that I don’t share here so I don’t embarrass parents will be the pictures they treasure the most as adults. Or use as blackmail. See the post about my nephews and niece for some examples.
