For this gorgeous Mommy and Me photo shoot I present to you…..the happiest baby on the block!! No really, the minute his mama pulled her handsome guy out of his car seat he was ALL smiles! I have photographed A LOT of babies but very rarely do I meet one who is instant smiles the minute they meet me. You know, it usually takes babes a few minutes to warm up to someone new, but not this little guy! Ok, little photographer confession, when a baby shows up to a session and wants nothing to do with you, it’s terrifying. You instantly think OMG am I going to be able to get this baby, who has never seen me before, to like me…..in the next 10 minutes?? Parents want smiles, they want happy baby pictures, and to think you may not achieve this is so scary! If you’re a photographer reading this can I get an Amen?! So really, this has never happened to me…phew! Wait, shoot, ok, now I’m sure I’ve jinxed myself and the next baby will hate me….scratch that last sentence. 🙂  Moving on!…Seeing this bundle of cuteness smile instantly was like hearing Angels sing. We had a beautiful location, gorgeous mama and the cutest baby who is SMILING! I knew the minute I saw his happy little face I was going to love this session and I did. The light was amazing, everything’s growing outside and is still green, it was a perfect Mommy and Me session.

Mama was dressed in this gorgeous floral shorts romper and baby was in the cutest blue plaid onsie with baby Converse shoes. We photographed their Mommy and Baby shoot on a wilderness trail with this cute little stream flowing through. I’ve photographed families here all the time and never have we had water running through but with all the rain we’ve gotten this year it finally filled up and was the nicest surprise! Love having that water element in their family pictures.

You might recognize this beautiful mama as I also photographed her maternity photos at a winery a few months back which you can see Here! And they were published on Life and Lens Blog HERE!

Hannah, thank you for having me document your mommy adventure for you! I’m so excited to watch him grow and capture all his ages for you guys!
