Remember these three kiddos? Well, they now have a baby sister! Cecilia was the most laid back baby I've ever photographed. She let everyone pick her up, kiss her, jostle her, talk to her, all without opening an eye. She already knows it's best to just go with the flow. :) Enjoy this cuteness!
Adelaide is very excited to have a baby sister (AND a baby cousin)!
It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was sitting across from Mike and Kirsten at Caribou talking about the soon-to-arrive baby in Kirsten's belly. How quickly one year passes. That soon-to-arrive baby is now a full year old! I can hardly believe it!
It has been SO fun hanging out with this family every few months over the course of this last year. Getting to work with clients over and over is the reason this job is so rewarding, and I'm so thankful this little family chose me to document one of the most important years of their lives. Thank you guys! I can't wait to see you again.
And in case you want to see Baby Lane changing over the last year, here he is from tiny to little boy:
I had so much fun hanging out with this sweet, little two-year-old and her family. Adrina wasn't too interested in the camera or me (until she almost got in my car at the end of the session!); she much rather wanted to pick up rocks and sticks. I think this girl will be hanging with the boys as she gets older.
My philosophy when it comes to children/family photography is just to let the kids do their thing. I shoot on location for a reason ... to keep the kids in their element and give them some freedom ... so why not take advantage of it? In 20 years, I want families to be able to look back on photos and remember exactly how the child was at the time, rocks and all. :)
Adrina, Ashley and Derek, I had such a good time with you guys. Thank you for trusting me with your family photos!
See, she's picking up rocks ... with a cute bow in her hair.
Love this!
She loved swinging and would sneak a peek at the camera while she was in the air. :)
