I first met this sweet family at their newborn session. (See all the images here) The three of them are just so sweet together, and it was so fun to see just how big this little one had gotten. I love how his mama describes his personality – outgoing, happy, and curious. That was definitely him – he was full of smiles when he got out of the car and was all about exploring the field and fence. The fence tends to be a hit with this age – climbing is just so fun!
According to Mom…
Who are the members of your family and a quick fact about each one. Becky photographed myself, my husband and our 1 year old. Both myself and my husband are pretty reserved, but Becky is really good at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. My son is very outgoing, happy and curious and Becky captured his personality perfectly!!!
Does your little one have any favorites? He loves to clap his hands to “If you’re happy and you know it” and likes reading anything with trains. His favorite foods are avocados, yogurt and bananas!
What was your favorite part of the session? We had done our newborn photographs with Becky and they came out amazing, so I knew we had to get one year photographs. I absolutely love the pictures and want to frame all of them! Our session was at 5 pm on a colder day with a toddler who normally goes to bed around 6:45 so I was a bit nervous that we would be able to get good photographs. Becky did a great job and she truly captured my little boy’s personality. I love that these pictures capture us as a family interacting and having fun! Becky is amazing with little ones and also quick with the camera in capturing the most perfect moments. I especially like the ones of my husband and son!
Tell me about the outfits that you wore to the session! My outfit was a JCrew dress, my husband wore a Brooks Brothers shirt and jeans. We worked with Little Apple Styles who helped us find outfits from our closets so we did not have to purchase anything which was great! My son’s outfit was recommended by Little Apple Styles, and at first I thought the print would be too much, but it turned out great! We wanted our clothes to complement each other but the focus to be our son, and this worked out great.
What words of advice do you have for other Mamas preparing for a session? Make sure you wear comfortable clothes and have food/toys available for your little one! Also, just relax and trust that Becky will take amazing pictures!
What baby gear has been your favorite during the first year? I’d say our CityMini stroller is amazing, so easy to maneuver and folds up nicely for the car. It is also sturdy enough for long walks outside.
