One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is getting to see the same kids come back as they grow. I photographed this little guy as a newborn, and now he’s FOUR! It’s hard to believe how quickly those years have gone by.


This time, he came in with plenty of smiles and was so great at posing for his photos. We were able to capture a wonderful variety of shots, and I loved getting to see how much he has grown since those tiny newborn days.

Four-Year-Old Photos Full of Smiles


Four is such a fun age for child portraits. There’s so much personality to capture, and this little guy made my job easy! He was so smiley and did such a great job with posing that we could switch things up throughout his session.


Having that variety is something I love. A few different poses and expressions give families more to choose from and help show different sides of their child’s personality. His session gave us so many sweet photos to work with!


From Newborn Photos to Childhood Milestones


There’s something really special about photographing a child over the years. At their newborn session, they’re small enough to curl up in your arms. Then, seemingly overnight, they’re coming back as a four-year-old with their own ideas, expressions, and big smiles.


Getting to be part of those milestones means a lot to me. I know families have plenty of choices when it comes to a photographer, and being invited to keep documenting their children as they grow is something I’m always grateful for.

Child Portraits Beyond the First Birthday


Newborn photos and first birthday sessions get a lot of attention, but there is so much worth documenting after that first year, too. Their smile changes, they start looking a little more grown up, and new pieces of their personality come through.


A birthday is a great reason to schedule updated portraits, but you don’t have to wait for a special occasion. Sometimes you just want photos of your child exactly as they are right now.


And while this little guy was happy to smile and pose, your child doesn’t have to arrive knowing what to do! We can take time to let them get comfortable and give them simple guidance along the way.
