Ready for your head to spin? Three 2 year olds! Rhode Island photographer creates on location in home toddler portraits in Massachusetts.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing THREE two year olds. Yep, you read that right. Twin toddlers and their cousin gave me a fabulous work out. I was just saying in Saturday's post how I feel the hardest age to photograph is 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 years old. The biggest challenge is to just catch them with in the frame of the camera before they move again! And that is with one. Trying to catch three? I was excited for the challenge and came armed with stickers, balloons, and M&M's (because I'm not above bribery). We also headed outdoors for a few photos because the light was so nice, but it was a frigid 20 degrees so we didn't last too long. Mom just wanted one picture of the three of them and I am happy to report, we got one (we got a few actually)! I also had to include a few out takes in the preview today because I was laughing the entire time I was editing these. Can't wait to show you the rest!

Tea Party. Rhode Island photographer creates outdoor natural light childrens and baby portraits.

One of my resolutions this year was to take more photographs of my daughter. This past year has been a bit of a rollercoaster for my family and I, and as I have been so busy photographing everyone else's family memories, I have been failing to capture my own. My daughter is truly a muse for me. She inspired me to start this business, but she also inspires me every day to do better and be more. There is something so magical about childhood and I want to preserve that forever with my photographs. Of course one of the problems with taking more photographs of my daughter is that she is 18 months old. 1 1/2- 2 1/2 years old can be the most difficult age to photograph. They just don't sit still! This morning I woke up with a vision in my head for this shoot, and I was actually insane enough to carry it out (with lots of help from my mom, who gladly indulges my creative whims). G has been loving tea parties and dress up lately so I thought "what better way than a tea party to keep her in front of the camera?!" It worked for a few minutes anyway. At least enough time to capture a shot. A single moment of childhood that I can forever look back upon with a smile.

15 Month Old Portraits. Massachusetts and Rhode Island baby portrait photographer.

Here is the preview from this week's adorable 15 month old, B. I have to thank B for the best workout I've had in 2 months. This girl kept me on the move! She missed her nap, but was still as sweet as pie. She did not sit still for a moment, but lucky for me, she looked straight into the lens with her beautiful blue eyes even as she was walking away. We did have to work pretty hard for a smile, but we finally caught a few at the end.
