Today my sweet baby boy turns two.. so bittersweet. In these images you see the wild toddler who won’t stop running and also the big boy starting to emerge – the one who sat and “posed” for a second on the chair for mommy.
I love this child so much it hurts.
When Cathy emailed me to set up a session for her 18 month old Maddox and told me she’d been a long time blog reader of mine and that Maddox (like Jasper) had also been a reflux baby, I had a feeling we’d have LOTS to talk about and totally hit it off, which of course we did!
We had been planning this session for months and had the perfect location picked out when Chelsea Clinton had to go ruin it all and get married a few miles away (gridlock!), so we did a last minute scramble to find a new spot. It was a little bit of an adventure getting there, but Cathy and Maddox were game and I think the results were definitely worth it.
Maddox is a sweet, smart, curious little guy..
who is so photogenic I am having a very hard time even deciding which images to post here..
he’s a little bit mischievous..
but he did consent to sit still for a second or two..
and we even got the hint of a smile..
most of all, it was quite obvious how very much he loves his mommy..
Thank you Cathy and Maddox for letting me document this time in Maddox’s life and to capture the special bond you two share!
Summer session are my favorite. Yes, we may have to keep the kid up a bit late to get the yummiest light, but it’s all so worth it! We are lucky to live in such a beautiful area with tons of great places to shoot. But with the right light and the right moment, even the most mundane places are backdrop enough for a stunning portrait…
I took this picture of Jasper on a hot, sticky day after work/daycare just hanging out in the yard. I love the way the evening light is just barely kissing his flyaway curls almost as much as I love his funny little face (not quite a smile – more like a smirk.) Just one of those expressions that is pure, vintage Jasper that makes my heart sing when I see it.
These are the types of moments (memories) that I love to capture for my clients as well..
I just can’t resist posting one more of Lola taken this past weekend.. is there anything cuter than this little girl? God I’m going to miss her!
When my friend Sara told me she needed photos for her new business venture “Tractors & Tiaras” I jumped at the chance.. tractors, tiaras, toddlers, a gorgeous orchard, what’s not to love! When she first asked I was a bit skeptical that we’d actually be able to find a tractor to use, but thanks to a family friend we not only found a tractor, but a another old friend who volunteered to drive the tractor to the exact spot in the orchard that I wanted. Sometimes the pieces just all fall together. I love it when that happens! Without further ado, Jasper, Lola and Tractors & Tiaras!
Have you ever seen anything cuter than Lola in those cowboy boots? I didn’t think so!
Thanks to Jeff, Sara, Mando, Graceann, Jairo and everyone who made this happen..
