Mom reached out to me to say that her baby girl was about to turn one and her big boy about to turn four ~ and she wanted to celebrate with an Underwater Mommy and Me session! How fun is that?!? We are big on experiences over stuff for birthdays in our house, so I thought this was a fantastic idea!!
First Time!
Baby Girl had not been under the water before, but we decided we would have fun getting images of Big Brother under, and Baby Girl splashing and having fun on the steps. Well, she showed us!!
I worked with her through out the session getting her ready. I would trade off with mom, taking a few photos of Big Brother, then letting them have some fun playing in the water. We can only do a few photos at a time with the younger kids anyway because they do need time to take a little break. All that swimming, jumping and cannonballing wears a tike out!
So while they went off for snacks or play time on the steps, I splashed around and had fun with sweet baby sister. Near the end of the session we decided she was ready to give it a try. She was loving the water and just having a great time!! I think Mom and Brother’s faces say it all. Can you see how excited and shocked they are at how happy their baby girl is under that water?!? They were so surprised she did so well on her FIRST time fully submerged under the water! Oh what a fun morning we had!!
Happy Birthday!!
So a big Happy Birthday to both of these adorable littles. I was so proud of both of them! Can you believe three year old Big Brother not only Cannonballed into the pool – but he braved our big boy slide all by himself! And loved it so much he had to do it again and again?!?
I hope to see you all again next summer ~ I just love watching “my babies” grow up!
What an Honor!
These darling kiddo’s Mama is an amazing wedding photographer ~ go check her out here. It is always such an honor when professional photographers choose me to photograph their families. I can’t thank Ashley enough for putting her trust in me to capture these special memories and leaving these amazingly kind words on my facebook page. Hearing that you and your children had a wonderful experience means the world to me!
Great way to capture the first time swimming for your kids! I can’t remember anything from when I was that age and my parents didn’t take photos of everything so I can’t actually look back on this experience..
What fun and a great experience. the kids look so cute. they really enjoyed swimming. Loving the photos so much.
What cool pictures. I would like to take some like that of our kids,
Your kids are very cute. Looks like they are having a lot of fun playing in water. It’s great you’ve captured these amazing moments.
What beautiful and fun photos! We love swimming all summer long in my mom’s pool and just this year my little started swimming on his own with the arm floaties. It amazes me how many children have such a fascination with water.
Wow, that is such a great experience for her and really love those capture moments when she is under the water it so beautiful.
I love to see kids enjoying the water, and not being afraid.
Such cute underwater pictures. I would love to get some pics in the water of the kids.
She is a brave little girl! The pics are so full of real emotions & expressions…simply wonderful.
