Photoshoot with a two year old at a Ridgewood studio

This is a second time I got to photograph this beautiful little girl!  I first met her last year when her Mom brought her to my Ridgewood photography studio for her one-year-old portraits.  I was so amazed to see how much she grew and changed in just a year!  Is not it amazing that as an adult I don’t change at all (ha!) from year to year and yet when I see kids that I photographer every year for their annual portraits they change so much!

This C. was just bursting with personality – she was happy and silly and cute all at the same time!  I always tell parents to bring toys, books or other items that have a special significance to them and to the kids and this Mom brought these adorable wooden ducks.  They photograph really add (I just love the pop of color they add to the pictures).  But the coolest thing is that this girl’s Grandpa made them for her!  How cool is that?!
