What a fun session I had this past weekend with this adorable little girl. Addyson is two now and I first met her when she was just 6 months old…I can’t believe how she’s grown and what fun to get some time with her this afternoon! She was a bit shy to start out…as are most two year old’s around someone they really don’t know, but by the end of the session, she was leading me off to play with her…ahhh, she’s a sweetheart! We began outside as it was dry at the time and thought the outdoors would give her time to explore and use up some energy…and were we ever lucky as later, after moving inside, the rains returned…so good timing for us! This cutie LOVES dogs and early on her aunt and uncle were trying to sneak their dog into their car (heading home), and Addyson saw this and just HAD to see the dog…so we used that to our advantage in order to get her to sit still and smile for a few photos! It’s amazing how you have to be creative when working with toddlers…finding ways to entertain and distract them…this afternoon I pulled out a little gift I had for her…early…to bribe her and it certainly helped! Mom also had some M&M’s in her pocket that helped as well…by by the end, no bribes were necessary…she was a great little model and tons of fun!
Isn’t this the cutest pic of Addyson with her big sister, Cami…these two have a very special bond…it’s wonderful to see! And, beautiful mom with her darling little girl…always a precious sight!
This was when Addyson was warmed up…and we had some fun…she was a real cutie and her smile made me melt!!
LOVED her little vest and besides keeping her warm outside, it was so cute on her…
Addyson has the greatest playroom…and it’s very neat and tidy…and she was quite excited to show me all the different toys in there…especially her dollhouse…I would imagine she spends a lot of time in there!
How fortunate that they had just decorated for the holidays the day before…couldn’t resist getting Addyson in front of the tree!
Here’s Addyson “hiding” from me…it was so funny to watch her play…did I mention how much fun I had with her!!!
Serious and curious…but also lots of fun and giggles…isn’t that was makes up little girls?!!??
What a great family…they were all so kind and welcoming…it’s always a pleasure to work with families like this this one!
Okay, this little face below looks a bit mischievous…but how could you resist this beautiful little girl…I think she was doing the “Happy Feet” dance at this point!! Too cute!
Thank you Addyson and family for your time this day…you are a wonderful family and it was my pleasure to capture some special memories for all of you!
Where has the time gone? Can you believe it’s November and it’s not even the beginning…it’s nearly the middle! I’m not sure about any of you, but boy, do I have a LOT to do before the holidays…both Thanksgiving and Christmas and as for shopping…I might have a couple of gifts, but not many and the thought of fighting the crowds at the stores and malls does NOT sound very appealing. I’m determined to “try” and not have to shop on the weekends, if at all possible…we will see if I’m successful with that. There is the advantage of online shopping…if you know what you want and I will definitely take advantage of that for those items I know what I want and can get a good price (maybe free shipping!!)…that will save a bit of the craziness of the shopping!
