Every time Cannon and his family come in for his milestone sessions I get so excited! I have been working with this sweet family since his older sister’s birth several years ago. One of the things I love about this cutie is his adorable expressions! It always is so hard to narrow down his gallery given that he is adorable whether giving me a pensive, serious look or an awesome big smile.
Ever since she was an itty-bitty and I was capturing her newborn images, sweet Eleanor, or Nora, has been such a sweetheart for her sessions. While every once in a while she would be a little shy and cling to her momma, with just a few smiles I could win her over. Since she was pretty mobile, we weren’t sure how well she would cooperate for her 1 year session, but she was amazing…flashing lots of smiles and staying in one place long enough for me to capture her 1 year old cuteness!
Cutie Luke is the third child in his family that I have had the opportunity to photograph. I love that they drive to me from almost an hour away and I love that when I see them it is like seeing family! For his one year photo session, he was just such a sweet charmer, always smiling and flirting with his big blue eyes. When his cake came out though is when the real fun began!
As a photographer, I am often asked what age I enjoy photographing. It really is such a hard question for me, as each age has it’s own uniqueness about it. I will say though that the easiest and most FUN to capture are babies between the 4-8 month age, particularly that age when they are first sitting up on their own. The toothless smiles, adorable rolls and sweet expressions they make, give me such variety to capture. It’s one of the reasons I love the simplicity of my sitter sessions 🙂
Capturing births, I feel like I get a unique insight into the lives of my clients. Then, to have the opportunity to follow them throughout their first year is even more special. I remember the day Isabelle was born like it was yesterday. It was the day of the 2016 presidential election and folks were glued to their TVs watching the results. Me, I was focused on capturing a very dramatic entrance to the world as sweet Isabelle required help breathing and was whisked away from the OR to the NICU. Fortunately, her story took an amazing turn as within just two days she was doing well and was allowed back in the room with her mom. This sweet girl has truly been such a pleasure to capture throughout her first year and beyond!
