This little lady was 9 months when I met her.  They were one of the many families that gave me a shot when I was building my portfolio.  I am not sure how they even found me.  But I am so glad they did.  They returned when she turned 1 and now she is 2!  It is flying by so fast.  We spent an hour together and for part of that time it rained.  I am amazed at how much we captured and how their session went from smiling in the flowers to splashing in the puddles!  

I know I won't forget this session.  How go with the flow she was even when it was thundering and hailing as we huddled under a front porch...maybe because her mom whipped out a red popsicle!  YES!  She pulled out a popsicle! And also because her mom and dad smiled through the whole adventure.  I loved how they embraced every moment!  

Here are too many of my favorites!

I love how a candid moment allowed us to get the perfect everyone is smiling picture!  

She was so cautious at first!

So mama showed her how it was done!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!  It would go big on her daughter's wall if I had any say!  Timeless and a reminder of this carefree moment...every time that girlie slammed her door in the future. The chance of rain was 30% of a rain shower at 7pm.  We moved their shoot from 6:30 to 6:10 and by 6:40 it was pouring and hailing.  Love when the weather guys are completely wrong!  But, I think looking at what story we captured...I wouldn't have had it any other way.
