Toddler Stylized Session | Jackson, MI Photographer | The Toddler and the Teddy Bear

Jackson, MI Stylized shoot – Toddler and the teddy bear

It is rare when I try to do a stylized session with my own children. Between being so busy with photographing others, and my online business it can be hard to make time for the things that really matter. *insert tear*

Preston has always had the cutest obsession with stuffed animals of all kinds. He loves to carry them everywhere, even in the car. He loves to cuddle them and “feed” them things like his goldfish, cereal, you name it. He hasn’t quite caught on that they dont need food to survive 🙂 I wanted to have a special photo shoot just for him to capture his authentic love for stuffies before it fades in to childhood.

Preston is your average 3 year old, hes sweet, cuddly and generous, he is also irrational, and the loudest tantrum thrower I have met yet! He is our little sour patch kid. We held this session in our own backyard, I feel so lucky to have this cute little area out back that really makes it looks like you are deep in the woods, when really its only about a 20 foot area at the back of my yard in the village of Parma.

I really just wanted a couple photos for a three piece set of images for his wall in his room, but I know I will look back on these 3 images forever and it will bring me back to these sweet innocent moment in time.

What I love most about these styled sessions are that they take a tiny moment, or memory and take time to really embrace and capture it in a special light. I know these images will be cherished for generations to come.
