This beautiful little girl, Piper, who recently turned three, has been fun to watch grow up. I first met her when she was just six months old and on the gorgeous day we had for her family’s session, it was delightful to see how Piper is growing into a beautiful and fun little girl! She really is stunning, beautiful hair and eyes that sparkle and shine and her personality is even brighter and she’s easy going and tons of fun to play with. This was the first time I had the pleasure of photographing her whole family, last year, it was just she and her mom…so getting all of them together was wonderful! Dad (aka, Brandon) warned me he doesn’t smile a lot and wasn’t as excited about the session as mom (aka, Varvara) and Piper, but in the end, he was great and I think (hope) enjoyed the time we spent “playing” with Piper. It’s funny, a three year old…nearly any three year old…is full of energy, independent, stubborn and cute as can be when they are doing what they want…and Piper literally stole the show on this afternoon! She didn’t always follow our suggestions, as most kids don’t, but she was awesome and I loved capturing her beautiful spirit and showing just what loving and caring parents she has. And, then there are her parents…who are a gorgeous couple and the love for one another is obvious…I SO enjoyed capturing a few of just them together! Just talking with all of them was enjoyable, they are such nice and down to earth people who are easy to talk to and are grounded…and are awesome parent and an awesome couple!
Oh, how I loved watching dad and daughter…it’s obvious that Piper TOTALLY idolizes her dad and that is a beautiful thing to see!
Gorgeous family….
Bubbles…always a hit with this age…oh wait, big and little, they all enjoy the bubbles!
This smile…lights up a sunny day!!
Oh how I absolutely LOVE this photo….you can see the connection between these two…such an incredible sight!
What three year old doesn’t love “swinging” while walking with her parents…you can see just how much Piper is enjoying it!!
This amazing quilt was made for Ryder by one of Magi’s friends…such incredible talent and it’s perfect…love that it matches his coming home outfit with the pirates!!
And, I couldn’t resist sharing this photo again…it was a “sneak peek” right after the session…it was just too funny to not put in this blog. I’m not sure if Ryder doesn’t want his photo taken or if he’s not wanting to see his parents kissing…or maybe both…whatever it is, I absolutely love it…so funny!!
And, one more that I want to share…a “before and after” with Ryder’s adorable little outfit!!
Carson is loved and very blessed…and such a blessing to both of his parents and all of their families…the first grandchild on both sides of the family…he’s such a lucky little guy! Can’t wait to watch him grow and see his family evolve…that is what life is all about after all!! Congrats Jerad and LeeAnn…Carson is a doll!!
