Sometimes a casual backyard session is just what your little one needs! Not every photo session needs to be at a garden or a park. This session proves that you don&#8217;t really need to go anywhere fancy for photos. Sometimes your own backyard can be more than enough!
One of the absolute best things about taking photos in your own home and/or yard is that it&#8217;s where kids are most comfortable. And comfortable kids usually lead to happier kids. It was no exception for this sweet girl. She was perfectly happy to spend the evening playing on a chair, exploring the flowers, walking around the yard (with some help with her awesome big sister), and flashing some adorable smiles &amp; giggles. The fact that she&#8217;s already one blows my mind. It really doesn&#8217;t seem like a year since doing her <a href="https://stacietatum.com/blog/newborn-session-with-big-sister/">newborn portraits!</a> And now she&#8217;s one, running all over the place, and having lots of fun with her big sister.
