Growin’ Up | Twins, Johnny and Alexis

1-year-old Children's Portratis | Ryan Klos Photography, Woodstock, IL portrait photographer.

On a very hot morning in July I had the pleasure of meeting twins Johnny and Alexis for their one-year portraits. We met at Volo Bog and by 9:15 a.m. we were all sweating buckets—these two one-year-olds held up great though! Despite the heat, sweat and sun, we made some great portraits and had a blast doing it.

I loved watching Johnny and Alexis interact and noticing the differences in their mannerisms and reactions. Alexis wanted no part of being in the grass, especially if it touched her feet. Johnny didn’t seem to mind, he had no problem crawling through it to chase down the camera. When we put Alexis in the grass, she sat for a moment and then the tears started rolling. Just not sure about that texture yet!

Enjoy some portraits from our set!

Growin’ Up | Quincy (1 year)

I love seeing past clients come in for updated portraits. A few weeks ago I posted about Carson’s newborn and 1 year portraits, and now I had the pleasure of photographing Quincy’s (I photographed his newborn session last summer).

It’s always fun to see how children grow and change in a year. Quincy is a fun, bouncy little boy with plenty of energy and a smile that will melt your heart. We did his Growin’ Up session at George Williams college in Wisconsin on Geneva Lake. It was my first time shooting there and it was great! It’s a small college that’s well manicured and full of great locations for portraits. I’m sure I’ll be doing more sessions there in the future.

We had a great session climbing stairs, singing songs and playing by the water. Have a look!

Growin’ Up | Carson, 1 year

Amazing that a year has passed since I first photographed Carson. As any parent will tell you, that time goes by in a blink of an eye. I can hardly believe my own kids are as big as they are! I guess this is one of the reasons to have professional portraits made, to make sure these moments are documented and preserved.

Carson’s Growin’ Up session was a studio shoot, and we got to use some new flooring options and background (that’s the hay door I picked up from a barn that was being demolished last year). While we had to work for the smiles, Carson’s session was fun and relatively quick, which is important for a 1-year-old. We got some great portraits marking his first year. Happy birthday, Carson!
