I know I’m a little bit biased. My own daughter just turned two in August, and I am absolutely loving this age. So when Conor’s mom called to schedule a session in honor of his second birthday, I couldn’t wait to meet him and enjoy his two-dom, too. As you can see, Conor did not disappoint. This little guy was everything that is so great about two – energetic and enthusiastic, sweet and spunky, and 100% himself from the moment we met. That’s the thing I love most about toddlers – they don’t worry about what they think you want to see, they’re ready to show you who they really are as soon as you’re willing to let them. And that’s exactly the kid I’m looking to capture. Conor, I had a blast getting to know you last weekend. i hope you and your mom and dad enjoy your sneak peek!

After my own “summer vacation” of sorts (which did include some vacationing and celebration(s) of Violet’s second birthday, as well as less-relaxing but very productive work eliminating items that have lingered on the to-do list for far too long), I returned to one of my favorite parks to photograph this family last weekend. And had so much fun, I felt like I was still on vacation! Two (almost three!) year-old Elise kept us all moving – and more importantly, laughing – the whole time. Big sister Tess and her mom and dad were no strangers to silliness themselves; the smiles in this session were absolutely infectious. Thanks for a fantastic Saturday morning, B family! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
