This session is a great example for those of you that say - my toddler would never sit still for pictures and you can forget them smiling on command! Well, not to worry- you can still have a great session with beautiful photos even with a toddler who decides exploring is far more fun than seeing "cheeeese" :) This little boy in the session is my nephew Henry. He loves to explore, and I took him to an excellent exploring spot :) There's water, nature, and plenty of room to roam... and he did just that! We didn't try to force it, so I just snapped all the in-between giggles, running and hugs- it turned out just beautifully. SIUE gardens in Edwardsville, IL is one of my favorite locations all year round. It offers so much and is a great location for a session!
