Meet Sophia. What a sweetheart! She is 14 months old, and absolutely precious. She was just the slightest bit shy when we first met, but her sparkling personality came through quickly. Her parents and I have been waiting for the weather to cooperate for her session, and finally we had a beautiful and not-freezing day to meet. This whole family was so warm and welcoming to me. I love it when I meet brand new clients who instantly feel like good friends.

Sophia loved to sing Patty Cake, Patty Cake, Bakers Man. I had to giggle seeing her adorable smile light up when we sang with her. Shane and Jessica, it was such a treat to meet you at last. Thank you for the chance to photograph your darling girl! It was such a pleasure. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Much love,
Shannon

Lena has a contagious smile, don’t you think? She is such a lovely, sweet girl. The morning of our session was so cold, and we even had a layer of fog hovering over us, but she was a trooper. We wrapped her up in between poses to keep her warm. I just loved how she stuck out her little tongue when she smiled. And those big blue eyes! Precious!!

Lena was just over a year old when we met for her portrait session, and she was loving this new walking thing she had discovered. I just love this phase in a baby’s life. They are embarking on so many new discoveries with each step!

I first met these two dolls when they were just months old. They were so tiny and peaceful. I was elated when their mommy called me again for a portrait session this year. I knew those two beautiful babies would certainly have grown into amazing toddlers … and they have! Now they are two years old and ever so adorable. As I am sure any parent of twins will tell you, they each have their own unique spirit. Nicholas is calm and thoughtful. I can tell there is a great intellect growing inside this young man. Madelynn is spunky and playful. And though I’m sure Nicholas would argue with me on this point, I think Miss Maddie might be the one who calls the shots most of the time. Both of them are simply darling, and have such a precious bond. Life is sweet, isn’t it?

Tamera, I’m sorry to have to tell you that you’ll have too many images to choose from. I am having a very hard time narrowing them down! For now, I hope you love your sneak peek. Thank you for the chance to spend a beautiful Fall day with you, Nicholas and Madelynn. It was such a treat to work with you again, and I loved playing with Nicky and Maddie. What a blessing they are!
