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!
Just over a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful little girl and what fun it has been to see her grow and change this past year. Her mom (and aunt) and I have a working relationship for our businesses and that has been a joy…such great women and so talented…not to mention kind and thoughtful…and I must say that sweet Maddy is definitely following in her mommy’s footsteps! With a birthday the day before Halloween, how could we not have the session at a pumpkin patch and so we all met at Spooner Farms in Orting and we were closely watching the weather that day. It was one of those days “between” the dry days, but it was dry that morning and we all had our fingers crossed that the rain would hold off until after our session. So, we were successful…for part of the session, but the little bit of rain that did come down didn’t dampen our spirits or run us off, we were able to get in everything we wanted to and had a great time – despite the rain! Let me tell you this is such a fun family…they love to laugh and play and it’s evident just how much Maddy’s parents love her…she is truly the apple of their eyes! Although, I must say, that next spring, Maddy will be competing with a new family member for a bit of her parents attention…which is exciting and I know that they have more than enough love for another child!
I must say that what first comes to my mind when I see this cute little one…Shirley Temple! And I’m guessing most of you think that as well…the curls are so pretty…and those combined with this beautiful little girl…makes her just perfect! Hailey is three and is a typical three year old…curious, busy, full of energy and independent! It was a delight to photograph her and to have her mom (dad is in the military and not home right now), grandparents and her aunt and uncle join her…what a great looking group they all are! The morning wwe met was cloudy and a tad cooler than it had been, but it worked out great and we enjoyed strolling around the pond. Hailey proved to be quite the explorer, collecting sticks, flowers, grass, rocks and more…I love watching little ones explore their environment! It’s obvious she loves her mom and was happy to have those she loved with her that day…and don’t let that beautiful face fool you…she is strong willed and determined to do things her way…which is a good thing, but I’m guessing she keeps everyone on their toes! It was a delight to photograph her and spend the morning with her family…thank you for asking me to capture a bit of life for your family that day!!
