Portraits | Mady & Family

A couple weeks ago I got to head out to the beeeautiful property of Tree Hill here in Richmond to do 2-year-old portraits for one of the world's most adorable little girls. Her mom, Allyson, who is a photographer herself, had contacted me a few months prior and as we communicated about the shoot I got more and more excited about meeting and shooting her precious daughter, Mady.

As most people know, 2-year-olds can be pretty independent and when it comes to photos....sometimes entirely uninterested and uncooperative. But Miss Mady was in good spirits throughout the entire shoot, and even while being rather on-the-go (and incredibly fascinated with the silos - and by that I mean, she knew this word and frequently pointed up to them as we explored the farm. Talk about a smart kid!) she was a dream to work with. She laughed and smiled a lot and, I'm sure you'll agree, is just an outright photogenic child.

Look at her eyes! Such beautiful innocence.

Then we had a brief outfit change, and went exploring (near more silos!). Tree Hill is such a gorgeous area!

Definitely wanted to grab a few of just Allyson and Reid, as well. I'm thinking these two have a lot of fun together, in life. :)

  1. I did for sure! These are so sweet and beautiful. And it was Providential that you posted this when you did! I'm doing a photo session with a 4 year old Monday, and I've never done a session with a child, so this was GREAT inspiration! God is good :D.
