I met Mia, Melissa and Matt at the park near Central Market for their portrait session. What a photogenic and alliterative bunch! Mia, 18 months old, had fun pointing out the ducks, singing songs and showing me her dance moves. She loved her stuffed giraffe and barely tolerated her hair barrette. By the end, she was ready for more fun at the playground – while her parents and I were wiped out.

Halloween came early! I spent Saturday morning with Carsyn, who’s mom, Heather, had picked out the softest and snuggliest pink elephant costume for her to wear. Doesn’t she look adorable? Carsyn was full of smiles, happy to go along with multiple locations around the house and multiple outfit changes. Well, there might have been a few tears when the costume first came on. But she rallied.
It was a great morning. Though with her super fast crawling skills, her mom and I both had to be quick on our feet to keep up with her.

I’ve known Ginny and Grady (the parents of these cute twins) for a long time. So it was a pleasure to hang out with them one breezy Sunday morning and follow Elliot and Levi as they played all over the house and backyard. These two had just started walking and didn’t want to be stopped and posed. But they loved being outside – so it was fun to follow where they wanted to explore.
The whole session (plus some candids from our play date the week previously) is viewable here.
For the last few years, I’ve gotten the fun job of taking photos of my friends’ Paul and Alison’s little boy, Truman. Here’s a few of my favorites from this year’s batch. You can also see the whole slideshow here.
