This is why I love photography. I love photographing children.  I think it’s the spontaneity and innocence that I love. I love that children don’t feel self-conscious. We’ve been photographing Sophie since she was almost 1.  Click HERE for Sophie’s 2015 shoot. I will admit that she is my little muse.  We don’t really plan her shoots.  Mom will bring some props (love that home made headband!), but we just kind of hand them to Soph and ask her to “sit on the log”.  I don’t tell her to look a certain way or in a certain direction…she just does it.  I just snap away as she just does “Sophie”. I asked Mom what she thought Soph was thinking of when she was looking off into the distance, and Mom said, “I think she’s daydreaming.”  Well, daydream away, Soph! I literally could photograph you all day.  We were blessed with great lighting the day of our shoot. It was a bit windy, but Mom saved the day with her headband. Soph look positively ethereal as she stood in the woods, and saved her biggest smiles for her pics with Mom and Dad.  She was a good sport about holding the little lantern, I plan to do some fantasy edits on her images once things slow down here.  I can’t wait!  I’ll be sure to post them when I done with the edits.  Mom and Dad, it is always a pleasure seeing you all. We love you!  Here’s your sneak peek:
