For you LONG time blog readers, you may remember Olivia. She was one of my earliest photography clients for her first birthday last year and her cuteness won the heart of Matilda Jane and was a model for the spring line. We were back to shoot her two year photos last weekend. She’s all grown up now and just as sweet as can be. Prepare yourself for some major cuteness and some of the creamiest skin you’ve ever seen on a little girl.

We started out with a little peak a boo around the tree.

Gotcha Olivia!

Peek a boo! (Let me tell you, you have to be in FAST paparazzi mode to shoot these little ones!)

We went on a walk and her little jaunty hop here cracked me up.

There were plenty of opportunities to get some mommy daughter snuggle time. Livie is such a sweetie with her hugs & giggles.

I know first hand, from my own little marathon runner, that the key to getting a family photo with a toddler is finding a railing (or something) to sit on and keep everybody close and contained. I spotted their front porch railing as we approached their new house. It worked perfectly. (I”m saving more of these shots for the grand finale blog post. Sorry!)

Ok, I’ll be nice, one more family shot and then I’m saving the rest for later! Can’t you just hear Livie say, “Yea!!” I can! (As an aside, Jessica, Miles now says, “Hooray!” all the time, so our two would be quite a pair.)

Thanks for inviting us to capture your sweet little lady, Jessica & Todd! She’s just so precious, I want to eat her up!

Oh, and I had to share the sweetest story that Jessica shared with me about how Olivia felt about the shoot.

“So yesterday we took Olivia for a walk in the neighborhood. We walked through many of the same places we visited during the shoot on Saturday. While we were walking Olivia looked at me and said, “I play with Betsy & John here”. It was the cutest thing. She then said, “I have fun with Betsy & John”. She has been talking about having her picture taken ever since you two left on Sunday. I know she will be beyond thrilled when she gets to see pictures of herself that you took. Thanks again for making it a fun day!”

Awwwww! Isn’t that the sweetest thing! Just because of that, I’m posting one more photo. 🙂 You can tell that I know Jessica is DYING to see some photos. Poor thing, I did make her wait a while to see her sneak peeks as this week has been a little nuttier than usual. (Oh, and of course the election was like a holiday with all the buzz that came along with it!)

Ok, I’m shushing. You’ll see more of this little sweet pea when I post her slideshow in a few weeks.
