Let Them Be Two.

I'm often asked how I'm able to capture such precious memories. No. Not actually. I don't know if I've ever been asked that, but one day when I'm famous for my ability to capture toddlers in action, this will be my answer: "I just let them be who they are and get a really great work out." This is the shoot I did with my nephew for his second birthday. It was super hot and humid out. So, there was lots of sweating glistening (southern ladies don't sweat, they glisten). 
Connor is full of life and growing up so much. He lives full time in Colorado, but gets to visit pretty often. It sometimes still takes him a little while to warm up but I'd say these photos show he didn't really have a problem with that on this day. 
I shared a little about his 2nd birthday party here and you can find a few more previews on my Gray Mornings facebook page. Head over there and like it while you're at it!  


If you are in the Jackson, Mississippi area and would like photos of your child, family, or event please contact me stephanie@graymornings.com or via my facebook page.

    1. You know it's funny. He was actually pretty fussy a lot of the time not wanting to step on certain things and it was REALLY hot! But yes he has always photographed well with his super cute expressions!
