This second session I did with the Jones family last spring was magical!  The first session I had with them was last year’s Holiday Mini and I fell in love with this sweet baby girl.  Fast forward to the spring and now we have a spirited little one who makes the funniest faces!! She is so full of spunk and fun!  This family is another one of those families who was more interested in the candids of their daughter playing and exploring (as you know – my favorite!).  

We started the session off outside and I was a little worried because it was kind of dark that day and overcast – it had been kind of raining earlier and the rain had broken up just in time for our session.  While we didn’t get the soft glowly light – we definitely got great images of her exploring the gardens and playing as a family.  My favorite images came later when we went upstairs to her bedroom and just hung out.  We switched out the outfits a few times and got gorgeous images of her crawling – laughing – playing – reading with her parents and just being herself.

The light turned “glowy” in her bedroom and became soft and warm which made for some gorgeous black and whites.  My favorite part though was when this little one got in her traditional bonnet and dress.  I never knew how precious a little one could look in a bonnet but you better believe that will be the first thing I buy if I ever have daughters.  🙂 These lifestyle images show off the simple joys of being a family and I love them.  Not only because they show how sweet this family is but mostly because they aren’t over the top or flashy but they are genuine, real and beautiful.

I had to post these!  They are so cute!  Look at this little ham and her facial expressions!
