Zoe's Turning Two | Bozeman MT Child Photographer

I've been putting off my own baby's second birthday portraits for a couple weeks now, mostly because I really don't want her to turn two. If I had my way, I'd cancel her birthday and she'd stay *just* like this for eternity. She is just so cute, so funny, so cuddly... Alas, I cannot stop time. But I can make a bunch of really big canvases and hang them on her walls and never update them.

I always have the hardest time taking my own kids' photos. For whatever reason, either I get stressed or frustrated, the kids are sidetracked, I can't get their attention..... the list goes on and on. But this morning, I had the awesome Barbel Morten of Barbel Morton Photography by my side helping me out. Mostly she kept the big kid distracted and encouraged fun faces from the little kid, but she also got a taste of what it's like to photograph little ones on very little sets. Just a bit of a challenge, eh? I can't thank you enough for hanging out with us!

I've only scratched the surface and picked some early favorites. Cannot wait to get to more tonight!!

Love you, baby girl. I promise I won't really cancel your birthday. I think.
