i love surprises.  so, when someone approaches me with a photographic surprise idea, i jump.  i shot stephanie’s senior photos and was delighted to see her again; this time with her mom.  what a cute pair!  you can tell they have a close bond.  they also had a great idea for dad/mr. m’s birthday.  they opted for a mini session and then gave dad beautiful portraits for his office and a few to decorate the home.

no matter how old…always mommy’s little girl.  i hope sarah feels this way when she’s grown up!

it was so much fun capturing who you two are together and apart. two peas in a pod!

what do you get when you have two busy parents, an active baby but still want great images?  a mini session!  mini sessions are perfect for situations such as this.  want to surprise dad with images of the kids for fathers day?  consider a mini session!  there are so many times when mini sessions are the perfect fit for what you’re looking for.  if you are interested in a mini session for your small family, just siblings, maternity and more, let me know.  it’s 1/2 the price but ALL of the quality you expect from big shots!

for this mini session,  we celebrated baby natalia’s first birthday at the park!  she started out timid but gave me lots of great photo opps as we got going and even some big hugs throughout.  i know mom was worried we didn’t get any good images.  don’t think you have to worry anymore.  enjoy!

really?  do they make them much cuter?

see where natalia gets her adorableness?  gorgeous family!

and there’s that sweet light…
