What do you do when you know your toddler isn't one to hold still, but you really want to have professional portraits done to document his cuteness and that he has officially turned one? Oh...and you and your husband are both Culver alumni?

Holly reached out to me last Spring because she really wanted to capture her little guy, Wells, at one of her favorite places. She explained how he was truly a toddler and the first year was so monumental for her and their little family. He had changed so much during it and she really didn't want to miss making sure they had wall portraits to match his newborn portraits that hung on their walls already.

We planned over the phone for the session...after all, I have three little people and can totally relate to being on their terms! I'm still in the toddler stage with my littlest currently. Going in, we all knew that it was really up to Wells. Being that he absolutely loves to play ball, Holly brought along his little bat and ball which were a huge hit! We ran all over campus and had so much fun!!!
Let me tell you how his little eyes light up for that and his sweet parents who love him to the moon and beyond!  

When I did Wells' portrait reveal in the studio a few weeks later, Holly's eyes welled up seeing his images...so I knew I'd definitely captured her little guy perfectly! She decided on several images to be made into canvases for their walls and also picked out her favorite images so that I could design a beautiful gray leather bound custom album from his session. It's just the cutest and it's so him!! 

When your parents love the Culver Academies...you may grow up having your portraits taken there every year! At least that is the plan for this family!!! So little guy...here is the first of your many Culver Academies portraits!
