This family might look familiar. I've been photographing these dear friends since this not-so-little guy was born. He's always had this huge smile with a great personality which makes it so fun to photograph him. It has been almost 2 years since I've had him in front of my camera and I was happy to see nothing had changed! We had perfect lighting that day with the early morning sun shining through in beautiful Bishop's Garden. All of this made for a beautiful morning.
This was a beautiful fall morning in Northern Virginia. And this was a perfect example of how many toddler sessions go. We start off at the beginning and I get a lot of black stares. This little guy was shy and reserved and none of jokes and tricks were working. But after some time (and some tickles) he suddenly opened up and was as playful as ever. And of course, by the time it was time to go home he was ready to play and run! I'm so glad I got to capture so many sides of this little boy!
I have known this family for a long time. A really long time. So long that my mom still had to drive me when I went to their house. One of my favorite things to do at their house growing up was to look at their old family photos where they were often dressed alike (all 4 siblings!). So it was quite the wonderful experience to see them all grown up, some with kids of their own. These four siblings have a special bond and I hoped to capture that this very sunny morning in Atlanta. The fact that they also have adorable offspring helps for sure. While I think we all could have used a nap after this session, I hope these photos are ones they will look back on with love.
