As I mentioned before, I realized while shooting these sessions that four of the six families had first come to me for newborn photos.  Little miss J. was one of them.  I had not seen her in 15 months when she was about two weeks old and she looked like this:

And look at the beautiful little girl she has become!!!

It was SO great to see her mom and dad and see what a cute little family they have become.  J. was walking all over the place and definitely gave me a run for my money with her moving but we managed to snag her quite a few times and got some beautiful images that I know mom and dad are going to LOVE when they see.

Now normally, I would put the black and white in between the color photos.  I am just picky like that in that I like to evenly alternate and distribute things as much as possible.  BUT the reason I did it this way is for the last photo.  Dad had J. standing there on that rock looking at the ducks while Mom went back to the diaper bag for something.  Before we knew it, J. had kicked off her shoe and sent it floating out into the pond!!  So I couldn’t help but capture the moment as dad laid flat out with the stick to get the shoe 😉  No shoes, ducks, dads or children were harmed in the making of this moment.  It just shows you, always be prepared for anything when doing a photo shoot!
