Sam is Two!

Sam is another subject that I have had the opportunity to shoot since she was a baby and now is two! She had no desire to have her photo taken. I did not want to push her into it so I shot what "planned" images I could and then just went with it when I had to. I think that the outcome was pretty good.

I have to add that Sam is also one of the family of 5 that I shot all in one evening. So she did have a few distractions and that would be another reason that I did not want to push her to take them.

This image of Sam behind the frame was one that I had "planned". So I was very excited that I got a great shot like what was in my head.

These three images were not planned ones but love them just the same.

This is Sam with her cousin Kadance, that is currently living her.  Because they are close and playmates I wanted to be sure to capture an image if the two of them. One other important reason to capture the two of them was that they were both going to be big sisters and very close together. Be sure to watch for more of these two faces and their baby sisters!

Hailey is Two!

Hailey turned two in December of 2011, (yep that's how far behind I am. but I am getting caught up!). I started of with a plan in mind of what I was aiming to achieve from this shoot. If  you are guessing that the plan did not happen, you would be right. I always try to have an idea for all shoots but be okay if they don't go as planned, especially at this age.

I met them at their house and Hailey was not into having her photo taken that day. We were able to get a few inside and then we headed outside for a few photos and a quick distraction. I have three to share from outside because I just could not decide. After heading back inside and a quick warm up we did some in her tutu and then settled done for some more formal photos.

 I love how the crown on the sign behind her sits just above her head, like it was meant to be there.

 Even though she was freezing she had no desire to go back inside.

 This photo was another distraction that came out great. Ya know the unplanned kind!

Love the big grin and mischievous look in her eyes, in these two images.

We then got her back into her dress and she was still not wanting to sit back down for some more posed images. Still like this set that we got though.

  

Hailey with Mommy and Daddy and one more with Mommy.

One last image of Hailey in her Bills jersey. What a face maker she is.

I had the privilege of shooting Hailey's first year of life and was excited to shoot her second birthday photos as well. I think that I will be seeing a little bit more of this face in the next coming months as Hailey will be a big sister soon!
