Dulci

After months of having to reschedule, I was finally able to meet up w/ a family who I first photographed when Miss Dulci was firstborn. Now, 9 months later we got a chance to meet up again. Mom decided to have me meet them @ the beautiful grounds of Vanderbuilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY. It was pretty humid out so we stayed under the trees & out of the sun. It was such a treat for me to get to photograph this little girl again. I grew up w/ her mommy so it’s always nice to get to see your friends having kids. Even though we don’t get to see each other often these days, this was an extra special experience for me.

She was just loving the grass…a little too much for mom @ times. Had to keep picking grass out of her mouth in between shots.

I love it when babies make the funniest expressions & faces. This was my favorite of hers!

Just look @ these cheeks! Makes me just want to reach out & give them a big squeeze!!

I bought this bucket along to try it out for the first time. Miss Dulci wasn’t really into sitting in it, so this was my only shot. But I love it!

Dulci is a pretty serious baby, but we did get a few smiles from her @ times which made me happy!

I also bought a tutu that I haven’t gotten to use either. Dulci was my first model & I just think she looks so cute in it! Makes me want a little girl so bad!!

About an hour into our session, dad finally got to make it for a few shots. By this point Dulci was getting tired & hot, but dad worked his magic so we could get a few family photos!

I love this picture! I asked dad to put Dulci up on his shoulders & she had other ideas. This is her trying to get off his shoulders, guess it wasn’t her thing. LOL

Snuggle time w/ dad. Can you say, daddy’s girl? So stinking cute!

This is Miss Dulci contemplating what to do w/ these flowers.

She quickly caught on & then we had to say goodbye to the flowers before the flowers went goodbye

Thank you to Gina & Mike. I’m so happy we were able to get together & I got to see how much Dulci has changed since I last photographed her. What a gorgeous little girl you have!
