The Duck Pond...

 Took Baby Z to the local duck pond/park today. Perfect way to spend a sunny February 1st.

 When it comes to photographing a 20 month old, its best to just let them do their thing. If they wander around, capture it. If they sit on a bench, if they run like crazy or even if they eat the bread you were supposed to be feeding the ducks...just capture it. Capturing the natural moments are some of my favorite photos to take.
Baby Z's top, pants and vest are all from H&M. Shoes are from Baby Gap.

No duck pond post would be complete with a picture dedicated solely to our web footed and bread hungry friends.

XoXo!

Be My Valentine: Baby Photo Shoot Ideas Part 2

                                                 Photo found here.
                                           

The Valentine's themed outfit that I ordered off of Etsy arrived yesterday. I'm in love with it! It came out better than I expected. Soon as I am able to take some pictures of it I will post them on here for you guys to see. In the meantime I have still be scouring different sources to come up with ideas for little photo session. I have so much fun planning out these little photo shoots. Here are some more pictures that I have found inspiring.

I love the look and concept of this photo. It could easily be adapted by a mom of 2 little ones or for two little friend, cousins, daddy and daughter etc... Don't know if this one will work for me but I wanted to share regardless because I found it to be so charming.

I'm a sucker for balloons. Make them red shiny heart balloons and i'm sold.

Massively puffy tutu....Valentines perfection for a little girl.

This concept would be cute for a little boy or girl. Put them in a cute neutral outfit and hand them bright colored sweets. Voila.

xoxo.

Fall Baby Photo Session : The Ideas

I have been scouring Pinterest for my fall photography ideas for my little girl. I decided a few weeks ago that I want to take seasonal and/or holiday photographs. I of course turned to Pinterest for inspiration and as a foundation for my ideas. Once I get my photos done I will post them for you guys to see. It will be fun to see how I took an idea off of Pinterest and tweaked it a bit to become unique. I love the above picture but my little one is too young to stand. I might think of a way to incorporate some ballons regardless.

I absolutely have to include this in my photography session! Its so adorable! I want to find a red barn as my background for this picture along with a orange/brown themed hairbow.

No, I am not expecting but I love this photo. Its so original and cute. I want to do something similar however just my daughter would be in the photo with a chalkboard. I want the backdrop to be similar to this picture but with fall colored trees. This will be a bit hard for me here in California, would look amazing for someone living on the east coast.

I'm really loving the idea of picture with a monogramed prop. I want my entire fall photo session to be outdoored themed though so I was thinking of having my little one in a basked in a field. I would decorate around the basket with pumpkins and a large size wooden letter Z.

Props I need:

• Large size pumpkin.
• Smaller decorative pumpkins/squash in various colors.
• Small chalkboard/1 piece of chalk.
• Large sized wooden letter.
• Medium to large size wicker basket.
• 12 orange ballons ( I'm still wanting to incorporate a ballon themed photo)
• Bubbles ( Not sure what I want to do with these yet but the picture below is an inspiration).
