A Fire Island Family

Remember this little guy from above?

Well this year I got the honor of photographing him again! This year he could walk, and well, when a little boy can walk they know how to walk away too! Although it would be great if the little people were not walking away, I always love the honestly of a child. So at the times the light was as perfect as could be, yet he had no interest - walk away. At the times Mom and Dad were ready with big smiles - walk away!

I love this challenge in both photography and teaching, every age group has its charms and its obstacles! This year it was definitely Cole calling the shots, but you know what, in the end he lead us to some great shots! Thanks Cole!



This year I brought a little prop. Fire Island is famous for its iconic red wagons and right before the shoot I noticed that my husband had this mini one that he used for change! We washed it out and Cole loved it!



Mama love!



Here Cole took his favorite doggy for a wagon stroll!



We at least got a few family shots in, you 3 are gorgeous!



Although he is walking away, I just love it!



And if you wait patiently you might get a look back.



Father and son.



Mother and son.



The precious little feet that I followed....



...that lead us to this. Incredible, a Mama deer and her baby arrived on the beach at sunset for a stroll. Cole was watching them as intently as they were watching him. It was such a sweet moment, and oh so Fire Island!



Thank you so much for once again allowing me to capture a slice of your life at the beach! Cole, you're an amazing kid and your parents are amazing too! After the session we all sat down to a glass of wine, sippy cup for Cole, all shoots should end on that note!
