Over the past couple of months there's been so many photography sessions I've done that I'm dying to share...especially to give you guys an idea of what you would get if you booked a photography session with me....
Every year I take photos of my kiddies for their birthday. Its become a tradition...especially with Inaya because she is my youngest and was born after I started learning photography. My older daughters photos are pretty much all from Picture People and JCPenny's. Nothing against these companies, because at the time it was great and convenient for me, but on the other hand, I've always felt that the photos were very limited.
I've been taking photos of Inaya since birth, and you can tell she's a photographer's daughter because she knows when its time to take photos I don't play...I'm all about trying to get that perfect shot. However, just as she knows me, I also know her...and there's a time limit of how much I'm actually going to get from her. It ranges from 30-40 mins....more towards 40 mins if its warm weather and I'm letting her do her own thing. Well of course, it was 60 degree this Monday, but as soon as I took her out the sun quickly began to set and it felt like the temperature dropped 10+ degrees along with it. She was miserable and I was a witch, but my poor little girl sucked it up and we got some amazing shots in that small window.
Along with Inaya's Birthday photos, there's always been a theme around it...and this year is no exception, especially because she turning the Big 5....
Side note....Shout out to my dear friend Kristin who helped me create this design for Inaya's cake for her party on Saturday. She does amazing custom work and you can check her Instagram account at graceandjoykreactionz or her Facebook account at withgraceandjoy.
Her Royal Fiveness theme could not be more perfect for this little feisty Princess/Monster in my life. She is the true definition of "my Joy and my Pain". She knows how to push my button like no one else, but she also has this amazing ability to make me laugh even when I'm upset at her. She has this insane personality that can go from 60 to 1000, but she's always on point with things. She's a clown but even when being serious can make you laugh without intending to. I think she would be an amazing lawyer when she grows up, because for a little person only turning 5 years old, she does make a lot of valid points when something isn't right to her. I absolutely adore this little human more then she will ever know. I can't believe she turns 5 today, as it feels just like yesterday she was born. It is hard to even imagine a time when she wasn't here with us....our little cherry on top. She is also the best cuddlier, and every single morning when she wakes up, the first thing she says is, "Momma, can we cuddle".....I pray she never wants to stop cuddling with me....
Her smile and laugh is infectious.
Lots of photos of her holding her crown just like a true Queen...but in reality its because its really big and heavy...LOL!
This is her real smile...melts my heart!
And...this is her cheesy smile. She works best when telling her to say "Yes", and actually you can get most children's true smiles by telling them to say "Yes". #FunFact...it always works for me and many of the moms I've worked with are usually amazed.
Love this one!
Oh so Serious....
Her signature pursed lips...when she's up to something and is trying to hold back a smile.
My Happy girl!
Thank you so much for checking out my post and my little princess's photos.
Feel free to comment below and let me know your thoughts. This is pretty much what a one hour outdoor session looks like with a little one. I took about 200 photos, and these were the best ones that I personally loved. Inaya's dress and crown are both from amazon.
