My trusted assistant/studio wrecker/model helped me test out my sets for this year's Year End Studio Mini Sessions. I decided to keep this year's sets simple and mostly white so the kiddos really stand out.
I must say, his hand-me-down overalls and consignment store button down shirt and bowtie were perfect!
She wouldn't have anything to do with me when we first started the session. By the end, I got this. One of my favorite pictures to date.
It's beginning to feel a little like a warm fall here in South Carolina. Ha! After living in New York and then Washington for 4 years, it feels like a cool summer day to us. We don't mind one bit!

We practiced over and over again. We got out to the field and he suddenly couldn't hold the pumpkin without dropping it. You wouldn't believe the coaxing (and promises) that happened to make this picture. Luckily, by the time we got home he forgot about everything promised to him and just wanted to run around with the pumpkin on his head.
All I can say is that it just felt necessary to do a cereal milk bath with my son :)
There's a saying, "it's a small Navy." It amazes me how true that statement is. I meet this guy's momma when we first moved to Washington. She was pregnant at the time and our husband's worked together. They moved to Charleston about two years ago, when little P was about 6 months old. Of course, we just moved to Charleston a couple of months ago. I was so happy when I was asked to photograph their now THREE year old (what?!?!) before they moved on to their next big adventure.
Our session was full of running around Hampton Park, looking for dinosaurs and jumping off boxes in the sunshine. Could you ask for a better evening in downtown Charleston?
When it came time to take my baby's Birthday pictures, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. The Battery has to be one of my favorite places in the entire world. The architecture, the colors, the palmettos, the ocean... need I say more?
I have to admit, I'm pretty pleased with just how many images I ended with. If you know my son, you know he is W.I.L.D. Much of the session was spent singing B-I-N-G-O and eating M&Ms while chasing him down the cobblestone streets. At one point my husband looked at me and said, "Do you think you have anything?" Got to love the dads who work so hard to make sessions go well.
Landon has this photog-kid thing figured out. Give her a few quick smiles and she'll go away. We were trying every trick in our wheelhouse to get all of the locations I had in mind. After a few rounds of jumping off a box, climbing on fences and singing B-I-N-G-O, Landon looked at my husband and said "NEXTTTTT!!!"
He's everything a 2 year old should be - spunky, silly and a little naughty. Happy Birthday, buddy!
I took my baby out for his 2 year session tonight. We sang lots of B-I-N-G-O, ate some M&Ms, ran down cobblestone streets, looked at the "wadder" and managed to grab some cute pictures in the process.
