Che bello bambino!

I immediately enjoyed being around this couple. We share a similar love of Italian culture and Italian names. I hope I was able to convey to them there was no rush to the session and it's always expected that there will be stops for feedings, diaper changes, and to clean up pee (hope it came off the rug!) Their little guy had beautiful dark features and was awake for most of the session so we were able to get some shots of his eyes.
Here are some favorites:

Downtown Fun

The weather was great for a visit to downtown's City Garden. If only we were allowed to go anywhere near the sculptures! We unfortunately picked the day they were cleaning each piece and everything was blocked off with red tape. It's a good thing the main subject was an adorable newly walking 1 year! One day this little guy is going to have girls writing poems about this eyes. Here are some favorites:

Looking at these photos you probably couldn't guess this little guy was being careful not to give away too many undeserving smiles. His cuteness couldn't be contained and I was able to capture some quick flashes of his adorable expressions. Here are some of my favorites:

9 Months on Main Street

Here's a session of beautiful fall day & a beautiful 9 month old little girl. My daughter is only a few weeks older than this little one, which helps give me some insight on how to photograph a 9 month old. They may not always want to smile, or stay still, or even look your way, but no matter what they are always precious and photographic. I'm already getting sad that our year together is almost through and our next session will be our last for awhile. Until then, here she is at 9 months!

Play time!

It's probably unnecessary for me to comment on how beautiful this little girl is, it was basically impossible to take a bad picture of her, and I found it hard to choose only 5 images to show, so instead I selected 6! I'm such a rebel!!!
I hope this is a nice reminder that I also photograph older children. I like to just let them do their own thing, since they will do that anyway. In this case her "thing" was swinging, running up and down a hill, spinning, and laughing, all which translated into beautiful photographs of a great morning. I believe that sessions can feel more like playdates, and here is why:

Happy Birthday!

I can't help it, I get attached to my stages families. I look forward to each session to see how their little ones grow, I enjoy getting advice from them ( thanks Tracy for suggesting I try Target diapers again, they never leak now that she's a little older). I felt sad as I drove away from this park after this session knowing it would be awhile until I saw this family again. I was almost caught off guard at the affection I felt toward this little guy when his face appeared on my screen as I was processing the photos. The next few months seem to be my month of saying goodbye to my stages families, and I just want them all to know how much I've enjoyed being apart of such an important year of their lives. I look forward to getting to know my new families and know next year I will have to let go again!
