welcome to my journal

I was excited to photograph Baby B. The Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton was the perfect location for this rustic and country themed one-year photo session. Because I’m a candid baby photographer, I always come prepared to make lots of goofy noises. I’ll say “ACHOO!,” clap my hands while simultaneously cheering “YAY!,” and much more to get those real smiles out of babies. Sometimes, an unintended, but welcome occurrence is that the parents will laugh too. I mean, I really can’t blame them 😉

When I started making animated expressions and noises, right on cue, Baby B was all smiles. He giggled and laughed during the entire session 🙂

I brought along a vintage suitcase for this cutie’s one year candid photo session. I love how the fence fades off into the background.

I captured a fun candid moment of these parents laughing along with their little guy 🙂

I love this wagon that Baby B’s parents brought to the session. It is always fun when parents bring a few personal items to add to the photographs.
