After a rainy day last month forced us to reschedule, I finally got to meet this family last weekend for our much-anticipated photo session at the University of Richmond. Baby D was nearly 13 months old, and showed off his newly acquired walking skills with confidence. He was very steady on those little feet!

I love to shoot outdoor sessions at this time of year, especially when a family has a specific connection to their chosen spot. Both of D’s parents attended the University of Richmond, so it was the perfect place to meet for family portraits.

Since some technical difficulties kept me from posting this sneak peek last night, let’s get right to the point and see some photos, eh?

This was my second visit to this family’s home, the first being back in September to shoot Baby H’s newborn session. Look how he’s grown! He still has the same adorable furrowed brow and pinch-able cheeks… and I don’t think it’s possible that Big Brother J could be any cuter. Love them!!

Going back to photograph the same kids/families over the months and years is so much fun for me (and hopefully for them, too). I already feel incredibly lucky to be able to capture special moments in the lives of my clients, but to watch these kids grow is even more rewarding.

Here’s a small sampling of proofs from our session…

(And P.S. - yes, the photos are a bit less wide now… I realized that the photos were previously too wide for those of you with smaller screens. This size seems like a good compromise.)
