As I’m starting to set up Flying Mermaid Photography, I offered to do some free portrait sessions to help build up my portfolio. I’ve done five portfolio sessions, three of which were kid portraits. I LOVE doing the kid portraits. My approach is to show the kids being kids, not posed or staged. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, especially from the moms.
I had my third photo session on Wednesday, with 2-year-old Sadie. I haven’t gone through all the photos to edit yet, but I wanted to post a teaser, because I am just so pleased with how they came out. I really love being a photographer. I feel like I become truly alive when I’m shooting, and I also feel like it is the most perfect mediation, nothing else matters when I’m shooting. GRIN!

Meet Sadie.

She had just woken up from a nap in the car. I love the sweetness of this shot.

Still sleepy and BELLY!

It is probably wise to be cautious when approaching a flower bigger than you.

She was actually having a temper tantrum here, and very much didn’t want to get up, or off the bridge. But she looks like a resting angel. Love this shot.
oh I adore that last shot! so sweet!
