Metropolitan Imageworks

I met up with Aiden and his parents at the beach in Evanston on Father’s Day.  It was an overcast morning and the fog rolled in during our session but it really gave the shoot an East Coast feeling!  The little birthday boy was shy at first and then warmed up, as is his usual MO.  Mom was smart enough to pack a soccer ball which elicited some smiles and giggles and of course running around in dad’s arms always get the laughing action. Dad just needs to work on a gentler touch-down and we’ll be all set for the next time!

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this bundle of energy since she was just a few days old, every three months like clockwork. That’s SIX portrait sessions!  I was telling her mom during the portrait session that this past year had flown and it seems like it was just yesterday I photographed Ashlyn for her first birthday.

Ashlyn is a star in front of my camera but this session was the first time the weather cooperated and we were able to make it outside to the park.  There was too much fun to be had, equipment to climb on and fields to run around, not leaving Ashlyn much time or inclination to sit and pose!
