I’ve been photographing this family for many years. I still can’t predict how the photos will turn out or which will be my favorite. You can plan plan plan, but with kids, it can all go out the window. The best photos are usually the most spontaneous, anyway.

What you don’t see in these photos - the thousands of tiny green insects swarming the air, landing in hair, mouths and eyes, threatening to thwart our plans and ruin the session. I’d say we held up pretty well.

This is the pre-walking and running stage, those precious months when you have not quite a baby and not quite a full on toddler. When you don’t yet get sweaty at sessions running around after a tiny maniac, but you still have a kiddo who wants to do anything but be still. Those calm moments we capture - a mirage - 90% of the time there is a lot of squirming. It all makes for great photos…and sometimes exhausted parents.

Mustard yellow, teal blue, kelly green, violety purple, red….especially RED! If anyone in your party shows up in a bright color, I will be quietly singing inside. The camera - she loves color. Sure, grey and black and navy and neutral all have their place. But a little color really goes a long way.
