frontThe thing I love most about a two year old is you CAN’T reason with them yet! As a photographer, this keeps me on my toes.  It’s a continuous challenge to come up with ways and props to keep them “contained”.

We used lots of distracting elements for this SPUNKY, HAPPY, AMBITIOUS two-year old:

Andrew’s Balloons

Andrew’s Tricycle

Andrew’s vintage Rocking Chair

My umbrella

My Songs

All of us Dancing

Foolish Photographer

Hilarious Mother

Helpful Assistant (thank God)

I think we did a good job at capturing Andrew’s perfect personality.  My favorite thing he said was, “Chaaaeeeeesssssseeeeee”, that’s his Eastern Kentucky way of saying, “cheese”.

I am just in love with this little boy!  Thank you Susan for sharing him with me.

Beach Wall 56x56-30_0x30_0-03Summers in Eastern Kentucky are the most beautiful in the world, in my humble opinion!  The lush green mountains, old barns, and dusty trails make the perfect setting for outdoor family pictures.

The benefits are: You don’t have to get your kids out of school, colorful clothing is everywhere, and authentic expressions are easily caught if you have a camera on hand. {I happen to have a few}.   This session of the gorgeous Mitchell family was one of my favorite summer sessions last year, somewhere off the beaten path toward the Leatherwood/Cornettsville area of Perry County, Kentucky.

Some quick tips for Six month shoots:

1. Make sure your baby is sitting up without falling over, which may mean they are 7 months old.  Safety should come first.

2. Incorporate something they love, like mama’s shoes . . .

3. Or mom and Dad’s wedding album . . .

4. This is the perfect time for a hat or bonnet.  I have found that if you give the babies something to hold, they will be less likely to grab the hat and take it off!
