I had a great time photographing this beautiful family. You can just see the joy their son brings them! In this first image, all I hear is 1… 2… 3..!!!!! It reminds me of what I used to do with my parents. I wish someone had captured that moment for me.

I love moments preserved in black and white with a touch of warmth to the portrait.

This family wanted their photo taken at a local park with the gazebo.

When photographing toddlers I always ask the parents if there is a special stuffed animal that they would like to feature in some of the portraits. It’s amazing how these favorite stuffed animals age with all the love and affection over the years.
