Children
Children had to be so resilient in 2021. From spending extra time in their homes with just family, missing out on being with distant family members and not being together with friends, all of these children had to manage the stress of a pandemic. Some of these kids had to alter their senior year of high school, and most had to have school lessons on zoom. So let’s celebrate the faces of these precious creatures! Here are the BEST of 2021.
So give me all the babies and children, and I am one HAPPY photographer! This makes sense because way back, I majored in Early Childhood Education, and then I was a teacher for twenty years. Kids just make me smile with everything that they do. Let’s face it, they are just CUTE! Children just do their thing, and I just click away. And then there are newborns . . . just so new, so precious, and loved so much by their families. And don’t they have that sweet baby smell? Just such a miracle that I get to witness. The children and babies are just the biggest perk to this wonderful job of mine!! Enjoy the BEST of 2019 CHILDREN.
Doing the BEST OF blogs is such a joy, because it gives me a chance to reminisce about all the wonderful families and people I had a chance to photograph in that year. I am so THANKFUL to have time with these people AND to do something I love - taking photographs! I am starting with the LITTLES, because well . . . they are the cutest little faces, most loving little souls, and just bring so much happiness to me and their families. So look at these beautiful little people, and I dare you not to smile!!
Spending time with your sisters is always precious, and when you do it at the BEACH, that makes the time even more special. Megan, Erin, & Casey, three beautiful sisters, met me in Ocean City one morning with their families. Since each family lives in a different state, they made sure they captured the moments through photos! Lots of cousins = lots of FUN!
It seems like yesterday that I was photographing newborn Aria, and now she is TWO! Oh, how she has grown, (even though her #2 balloon was bigger than her!) She romped and splashed at the edge of the water, snuggled with her momma, and chased her cousin. Such a special time to celebrate being TWO.
After a long winter, spring finally arrived, so I headed to the beach to help the Shearer family celebrate little Finley's first birthday. What a beautiful beach morning to share with the sweetest family of three. This precious little baby is loved so much, and it SHOWS!! Happy FIRST birthday to Finley.
