because a sequel can be even better

EVEN BETTER

Have you ever seen a movie you really loved and then found the sequel to be just “meh”? (Looking at you, Cars 2!)

I wonder why it’s hard for round 2 of something to measure up to the first attempt sometimes. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a sequel to a movie that I liked better than the original. {Let me know if you have one!}

I met up with this beautiful family this past fall, and let’s just say a lot had changed since our first session together!

Yep, our first session was when mom & dad were announcing that little Ford was arriving soon! That session was gorgeous and wonderful and full of so much excitement. So you can imagine how much even MORE fun this one was adding in sweet Ford!

I’d say it was a case of the first one being awesome and the second being . . . awesome-er?

WORTH THE WAIT

We had to reschedule our first attempt because of weather, but let’s just say it was worth the wait because we ended up with a perfectly beautiful evening!

WHO’S IN CHARGE ANYWAY

I tell parents with little ones (toddlers especially) that we will mostly be following the lead of our little “boss” during the session. We keep things very light and easygoing, giving the child time to explore and just play and snuggle with mom and dad.

And that’s exactly what we did here!

Toddlers don’t pose, but they do know how to play and be affectionate. And good thing that’s all we need for a fantastic photo session that highlights your family’s love and laughter!

I loved this session, and it reminds me how much I miss photographing kids and their families. I hope you’re all finding ways to document these days in your own ways.

And when the time is right, I’d love to help you document your own family’s love story. Whether it’s our first session or sequels many times over. <3
