I always have this small fear in the back of my mind that I’ll show up to a portrait shoot and that for some reason the location is unusable. And that’s what happened with the Figliola family. We showed up to the chosen location and it had been bulldozed! I had to think quick and quickly change our location. Thankfully I had a another location nearby that we could use so we headed over to begin our shoot. This little lady was about to become a big sister so it was their last photo session just the three of them. She’s a spunky little one as most children that age are. Which means a lot of chasing her around. She kept it fun! And by now, she’s a big sister to a baby brother!!
I love photographing one year olds! It’s one of my favorite things because we get to include a birthday cake as part of the portrait session. Combine that with an adorable little red-headed boy!! Completely adorable, beyond words.
We met up to photograph shots of this cute little family as a group and some interactive moments. We finished up with the cake smash. This can get messy! The messier the better, of course.
I’m so, so sad to say that this may be the last time I get to photography this delight of a child! 🙁 They are moving away this summer to Georgia which makes it quite a bit difficult to see them often. I’ve photographed her ever 3 months for the past two years and she’s blossomed so much in that time. More than anything I’ve enjoyed the humor and kindness that was always exhibited in this family – it was always so fun to watch and to photograph.
I’ll always especially remember the last shots we did where she looks like the most beautiful angel. I didn’t want to stop clicking! I’ll miss them.
It’s always a challenge to meet the client for the first time at the photo shoot but it was smooth sailing with the Mitchell family! It was a pretty cold day when I met them in Tomball for their portrait session. But they did an amazing job in spite of the cold temperatures and dreary day. And this little lady was happy the whole time – she’s a little trooper! The session had a lot of meaning because dad would then be gone for a while due to work obligations. I’m so glad we were able to get it done in time!
Jill and James did things just a little bit different….they scheduled their engagement session to take place after their wedding instead of before, as is customary. It gave them time to wait for cooler weather and to pick out great outfits. They also had practice from their portrait session in Galveston after their wedding so they were much more knowledgeable about what to expect at the engagement session. We enjoyed a relaxed evening walking around and letting them be sweet to each other and voila! A great engagement session!
