It’s funny how sharing new work is the last thing on my list when I’m busy.  But I’ve been blessed with a busy spring and summer and after sharing the joys of photographing a lovely wedding last month, I’d like to share one of my favorite things to photograph.  This family portrait session marks the first birthday of this proud mom and dad. I love how in just an hour of photographing this family on a bright and early morning, there is a sweet narrative of interactions between these parents and their daughter.  We didn’t have a list of shots to set-up, only the goal of capturing this fleeting moment in time.  With a blanket to sit on, some books to read, a snack to eat, and a few favorite toys, this mom and dad had fun playing with daughter and she was free to enjoy as they responded to her whims and distracted her when she grew tired.  And having been there before with my two sons, it is a pleasure to witness these interactions between the doting parents and their charming little girl.
