Why I love 2 year olds

I love 2 year olds...I just do. Many photographers would say that 2 year olds are some of the hardest subjects to have a photo shoot with, and while that may be true, they are by far the most fun. They keep you on your toes and keep you trying to figure out new ways to keep them entertained, happy and willing to look at your camera. It's always an exciting session!

Miss J is the sweetest and cutest little thing. I have been photographing her since she was a year old and have enjoyed seeing her grow up. I love this little sweetheart to pieces!! Thanks for a fun session...and Happy 2nd Birthday!!

A darling pair!

I met the cutest and sweetest little brother and sister this weekend and had the wonderful privilege of photographing them. They were both little dolls and so adorable!! The big sister had the most gorgeous blue eyes I have ever seen, and her brother had equally gorgeous big brown eyes. It was definitely such a fun evening!

One Year Old

The little guy is about to turn one, and I simply can't believe it. The past year has gone by so fast, and I have throughly enjoyed chronicling his growth in pictures every few months. He is simply the most adorable and sweetest one year old ever, and my heart swells every time he gives me that toothy smile of his. Happy Birthday, little M!

Love this shot...what do all 1 year olds do? Stick random objects in their mouths. I love this age of exploration!! One a side note, We are nearing the time to welcome the newest addition into our family, so I will not scheduling any more photo shoots for a few months. I'll update everyone when I start to schedule these shoots again...it should be late spring.

Almost 4 months old

These are the two most adorable twin "brother and sister" I have ever met! They completely stole my heart the moment I saw them. They just smiled and talked to me, and I hated to say good-bye to them. We had so much fun at this photo shoot. Thank you, Little J and A...I can't wait to see you again in a few months!!

Jared

This was another fun shoot I have recently done. Jared was a blast to photograph...I just love having shoots with teenagers and adults. You don't have to chase them around as much. HA! Thanks so much for this shoot, Jared.

Bethany

Isn't she just gorgeous! She is such an incredible joy to be around and has a personality that wins over just about anyone as a friend. I just LOVED this session!! Thanks Bethany.

Photographer's Mixer

I had the privilege of attending my second photographer's mixer on Saturday...where quite a few children's photographers from all over our state get together and talk shop, share ideas and tricks of the trade, and take pictures of each other's kiddos for practice and portfolio work. It is always a lot of fun, and I always come home with new friends and lots of new information. Here are some of my shots from Saturday's mixer:
