Miss Maddie | Children’s Session (Arlington, MA)

Children, Family, Photography, Portraits

I had the pleasure of hanging out with this adorable little girl on Saturday, Maddie was a bundle of energy and I had so much fun chasing her around her house 🙂  I was squeezing in a session for Chris & Moya (Maddie’s parents) and they were kind enough to let me bring Prue with me.  After Maddie’s session I was heading to Hunt’s to have Prue’s photo taken with Santa (since Drew works there it’s become a tradition that Prue gets her photo with Santa at Hunt’s…it’s also way better then waiting in a ridiculously long line at the mall!)

Anyway, I didn’t have time to do the session and then get to Hunt’s in time without bringing Prue with me.  Luckily Chris & Moya understood and Prue came along for the session.  In the car ride to their house, Prue was telling me she was going to take photos of my friends (she had her toy camera with her).  While Prue played in Maddie’s playroom, I hung out with Maddie 🙂 A few times all the girls wanted to do was play together (a playdate is definitely needed! Dee we think you and Peach should join us too!)

This first image is for sure my favorite from the session.  Love those eyes and the blonde hair!  Drew says she looks like Drew Barrymore from ET!  I say she’s even cuter then that 🙂 I think this one would make a perfect charm necklace or key chain from Kotori

We were able to grab a few shots of the entire family, though it was a little tough.  At this point in the session Maddie just wanted to run around the house!  Mom & Dad had to hold onto her so she wouldn’t run away.

This one definitely shows the 2 sides of Maddie!  Serious & Silly.

Then we did some snuggling with “Big Bear” He was a great prop, I love shooting kids sessions with really timeless toys & stuffed animals. 

A few in front & near the Christmas tree.

I gave Maddie a break from “posing” and she just played with her toys for a bit.  I think this is key when shooting children’s sessions.  You can’t expect them to pose for you too much, you need to let them take breaks and play.   I had so much fun shooting this session of Maddie & I look forward to another one in the Spring or Summer.  They took advantage of our BOGO session special! You can still take advantage of the special through the end of the month!
