This is a notice to all two year old boys in the future: Jade is going to be the hardest girl you’re ever going to woo.

It took me all day for her just to warm up to me.  I tried to using chips, a stick of chapstick, and flowers, just to try to make this girl like me.  As a result, she backhanded the chip, threw down the flower, and broke the chapstick.  Talk about major rejection right? I would periodically ask “Jade do you like me yet?” and “Are we friends yet?”  And I would always receive “No,” and she would say it in the most cutest voice ever, so the rejections were not that heart-wrenching. I don’t know if I’ve ever tried so hard to make a girl like me, and it wasn’t until the very very very end that she warmed up to me a little bit (and I mean a little bit.) But by that time I wasn’t shooting anymore.

Despite the obstacles, I still had some amazing shots that I truly , truly love.  What I love about baby photography is there are no two shots that are the same.  Adults will sometimes stare at you until you direct them for another shot, but babies/toddlers they’ll do anything and everything at their own whim, and that is the beauty of baby photography. So I hope you enjoy these photos.

There’s no wrong way to wear sunglasses.

I call this one “No, it’s mine.”

Even Jade needs a rest once in a while 

Nothing beat’s a good ol’ yawn.

Pleasant surprise.

Peek-a-boo aftermath

After she fell (running away from me.)  :(

This is how she reacted when she saw a Nikon user. I’m just kidding. This is my last favorite photo of her not wanting to walk.
