FAMILY SESSION: One Year goes by fast

Sometimes this Ohio weather makes it difficult to be outside...it's either a sauna or a bath of rain or the cold air is so bitter that little ones won't last more than 5 minutes outdoors...

this is where InHome Lifestyle shoots come in most handy...

Yes, it sometimes requires a bit more time, a bit more travel and few extra pieces of camera equipment so that everyone "fits" in the frame, along with the available light...

HOWEVER...after viewing these images, I think you'll agree that it's worth it...

I am often amazed at how much my daughters grow and mature in even just a 3-4 month span of time...even now, as they are in high school and middle school...just a few short months ago they still had a bit of "baby face"...and all of a sudden they look older than their years again...

I photographed this little man when he was first born...and here he is now learning to walk and play and giggle and wear his "shades"! 

Believe it or not, these are images that I "forgot" to be aware of when my girls were small...and I struggle when they ask me about their "baby years"...I have sweet pictures of them posed and looking pretty...but I often forgot to photograph their favorite toys and books. 

My middle girl doesn't even remember living in our first house because she was only 2.5 years when we moved...

I think that this sweet family will continue to cherish these memories as their boy gets older and life continues to move forward in this fast current...

He is such a lovable little guy, with energy to spare...
