Capturing year after year

This spring we photographed 2 young sisters for their annual birthday photos. Often after we hit the 1 year milestone, the photos dwindle away and we get busy with life and keeping up with our active little people. I know personally for our family we try to get at least one annual family photo to acknowledge growth and change. Working with these two sisters for their annual photos was very special to see how their personalities are developing and growing with time. One soft, gentle spirit and the other very adventurous and active! Happy birthdays to these sweet little ones!

  

My little models

As a photographer, we often photograph everyone but our own little ones as we use our down time with family as a break from our work. But we should still be mindful to capture the light and love in our own families! I took the opportunity this past spring to capture some goofy, sweet, and serious faces of my two little models. I love them so much! Even when they decided they didn’t want to take a photo together.

This little guy was celebrating a big milestone, his first birthday! He sported his bow tie with class and gave kissy fish faces to the camera to show his love. We included mommy and daddy for some fun casual shots as well as his two cousins for some fun. This sweet boy has a soft personality and he was a joy to work with.
