Jax: 2 years | Franklin family photographer

You first saw this sweet boy last spring when I went to his first birthday party.  That was a great day!  I was thrilled to get to hang out with him yesterday and see how much he has grown.  Jax is now two, and with that comes a need to be active.  When his mom and I spoke a few weeks ago, we discussed how the purpose of this session was to capture Jax exactly as he is now– collecting rocks and leaves, playing, and smiling.  As a mom of two boys, I totally understand how they sometimes just need to MOVE.  It’s not always reasonable to ask a two year old to sit still for portrait after portrait, so setting up something a bit more informal can make the time really enjoyable for everyone involved.  We all smiled and laughed as he got excited about finding flowers (to give to his mom!) and as the three of them played together.  I think you’ll agree that we captured some wonderful moments of fun!

Jax brought along his favorite Sesame Street bucket to carry the leaves, rocks, sticks, grass, etc. that he collected.  So sweet.

No photo shoot at the park would be complete without a little swing reward!
