Kids are cute. Everyone knows that. Two-year-old toddlers are a challenge. I know this because I have a little spitfire daughter of my own who turned 2 this year. So busy, so emotional. She's quite the trip! Thankfully, Blake was a breath of fresh air for me. He just turned 2 himself, but he was much more chill and so much easier to work with than my crazy girl! Though he wasn't thrilled with me, his mom and his dad putting him in places an expecting him to sit still and smile, he put up with it for about an hour and we got some great shots anyway.
Another fun element to our session was Zoey. She's been around longer than Blake, and as Nicole let me know, she is great with him, but doesn't want to have to be TOO close. She still sat nicely and "smiled" both with and without Blake and the family. Otherwise she just ran around the studio and enjoyed herself.
I met Blake, Nicole and Brandon
last year and it was so great to see them all again. Hopefully when he's 3, we can bribe a few extra smiles out of him!

| ^Love this "outtake" of Zoey being concerned at whether or not Blake was going to pet her... haha! |
 |
| ^Apparently, Blake is very good at and loves the alphabet. "B" for Blake! |
 |
| ^It's always good to have a good reader! |
 |
| ^Love this one. If only Blake would have SMILED! |
 |
| ^Another good family shot. A bit closer to a smile from Blake. |
 |
| ^Adventurous. |
 |
| ^Blake's red panda, Meemaw, was helpful during our shoot :) |
 |
| ^I've gotta get one of Mom and Dad, of course! |
 |
| ^He looks like quite the dashing young fellow here, with his hair slightly mussed up. |
 |
| ^Can't forget Zoey. |
 |
| ^Finally! A smile for a family photo! |
