Meet the adorable, spunky and sweet Addy! I absolutely love photographing this age. It’s so easy to engage in conversation about anything and get them to talk with lots of expression! My favorite photographs of my own kids are those of their genuine expressions, where they’re talking or laughing, pouting or just being quiet to themselves…their eyes often evoke more feeling than a big smile. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the smiles too…especially the big ones full of laughter!
Addy and I were fast friends, laughing and chasing our way across a few areas of downtown Fort Wayne. Here are a few of my favorites.
Addy will be making another appearance on the blog soon when I share her little sister’s session from late last fall!
Hunter was an absolute sweetheart from the moment she stepped out to greet me. She arrived with a load of clothes, her smile and an attitude of having fun. A bit nervous at first, her first comment was, “I’m not very photogenic.” I told her she was crazy. The third shot out of the camera is the one below. I turned the camera around and let her have a peek…she laughed a little as if she didn’t recognize herself. She was completely relaxed from then on and enjoyed every minute (and it showed).
It was a fairly cold and dreary day last fall when we shot these…but Hunter took it in stride! Un-photogenic….Yup. Crazy!
Hunter, your beauty is obvious to everyone but you, dear! It was an absolute pleasure spending the morning with you, your mom and baby sister. Good luck with your coming graduation and wishing you wonderful things for your future!
Since I last shared Blake with you, he has taken to his feet and become very curious about the world around him. Still the sweet little boy with the big laughs but now he’s FAST! He had both myself and his mom chasing him down and doing absurd things to get one of those big smiles to appear. He is also sporting two new teeth and a big boy haircut!
Oh, Blakers, you just make me smile :) Can’t believe it’s been a year since I photographed your Mom and Dad while they were waiting for you! I expect a good workout when I see you next (as I’m sure you’ll have learned how to run by then)!
