Hayden's Second Birthday Photoshoot; South Park 15129


Since he was born, I have had the absolute honor of capturing Hayden's big growing-up milestones!


When his mom contacted me to photograph him again for his second birthday, I could not wait to see how he's changed and grown! I love to see these little personalities form right before our eyes. From a sleepy newborn, to a happy wobbly 6 month old, to a super adorable one year old, he is now two and has transformed into a Cars loving, photo hating lol, sweet little guy.


Toddlers can be such a tough age to photograph because, well, toddlers! There is just no reasoning with them...they don't get the reputation of "terrible-twos" for nothing! For over a decade, I actively avoided photographing this age group, lol. But now with my own kids far removed of this stage of life, I find myself having the patience and completely loving toddler's chaotic energy! This age is so unpredictable... but you know what? We always come away with sweet photos of exactly who they are at this stage of life! Maybe stubborn, maybe camera shy, but always cute, always lovable, and always giving at least a few smiles and giggles along the way!


Here's our quick little mini-shoot this morning! I'm so lucky to photograph Hayden year after year!


Happy birthday, Hayden! You are the best!

Photos done at newborn, 6 months, and one year old in my south hills of Pittsburgh photography studio. Grow with me baby photography.

Newborn, 6 months, and first birthday photos done in my south hills photography studio.

Photos of a noncooperative toddler that ended up great

Hayden mostly ran and hid from my camera during the shoot, lol. BUT, as always, we got a few bursts of smiles from him!

Before and after photo of a toddler who would not smile in his family photo so I swapped his head in photoshop with a smiling photo

And when the smiles and giggles don't happen when you need them to, I can do a head swap to make you look like you're happy the whole time, lol
