Well, it has been quite a while since my last blog post! There has been a lot going on, and before it gets any further out of hand I want to share with you this beautiful little girl whose five-year-old birthday was in May. I took photos of her last year when she was four years old, and it was so much fun to see how much she’s come out of her shell over the past year! I always like following clients over time and watching kids and families grow.
The day of our session was very cloudy and even a little drizzly which made for a fun, adventurous energy and super even lighting.
One of the best compliments I can get is when, at the end of a photo session, the child asks if I can come home with them. Building that kind of rapport with each of the kids I photograph allows my sessions to end with a variety of fun, natural, and beautiful photos that give childrens’ families a window into that time in their child’s life to treasure for years to come.

I also shot 4-year old portraits of her younger brother who, incidentally, was shy for his pictures just like she was last year. Maybe next year he will come out of his shell just like she did, but either way it’s fine with me! To me, the shy photos often come out equally as cute, and I’ll find time to share some of the amazing shots from his session soon.
