I Could SERIOUSLY Shoot Toddlers ALL Day... With My Camera That Is!! {Indian Trail, NC | Children's Photography}

I always have so much fun with toddlers! They are fast, active, expressive and 100% natural. Camera or not, they will be just who they are!

This was no different. By the end of this session, I was ready for a tall glass of water, and a nap! But seriously, this was a perfect shoot! This little guy warmed up to me quickly. Even chased me down a couple times. And of course the outfits! Full of details and color, just the way I like 'em! I could go on and on about the shoot, but I'm sure you'd rather see some images, so here they are!!

4 Months... Normally A Hard Age... Not This Time! {Union County, NC | Photographer}

If you know many children's photographers, chances are more than a few will agree that 4 months is a hard age to photograph. Why? Because at 4 months, babies don't always smile on demand. You can't pose them the way you can a newborn. They can't yet sit on there own. If you put them on their back, they may just roll over onto their belly. And so on, and so on!

So while 4 month olds may sometimes be hard to photograph, I had a blast with this one! We did some outside, some inside. Some on his back, some on his belly. We even had to dodge the golden stream a few times! :) But it was fun and I just love the images he gave me!

Thanks mom and dad for allowing me to share your little one with my readers.

Oh How I Love Cake Smashes! {Baby Photographer | Charlotte, NC}

I had been waiting MONTHS to do this cake smash! And not to mention my 1st outdoor cake smash. It was SUPER fun! We started out just doing a 1 year portrait session in some amazing outfits that my mom made. Then moved on to the cake smash! Everything just went perfectly (except for when I turned on my camera to start shooting and realized I had left the battery on the charger so had to run back for it!). This little girl was super happy, easy to photograph and loved getting into her cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARE!!

Let Them Be Themselves... {Toddler Photography | Charlotte, NC}

For this session, I asked mom and dad to bring some things that this little one loved to do. Books, toy cars, and of course, his soccer ball! This session was all about capturing who he is now. No posing required! It was a blast! I was able to just play, follow him around and let him be himself and it made for one AWESOME photos session!! Thanks mom and dad for bringing some stuff for us to use during his session!

And We Have a Walker! {Monroe, NC Baby Photographer}

I can't get enough of this little girl! She just seems to always be happy... A photographers dream really. Expressive, cute, happy... just perfect! Not to mention, my best friends daughter.

She just started walking! I was more than happy to be able to catch some of her first "toddles" on camera.

Hope you enjoy this preview as much as I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone as far as processing goes!
