I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Russell since he was 3-months old. It’s fun to see how he’s growing up through all the stages from baby to toddler, and boy does it happen fast. Over the years each shoot with Russell has been fun, but this latest fall portrait session takes the cake.

I shot Russell’s 2-year-old fall portraits at Veteran’s Acres in Crystal Lake on a warm Saturday afternoon. We played in the leaves, pulled pumpkins in a wagon and had a great time making some great outdoor autumn portraits. Is it just me or does it look like he should be posing for a Gap Kids ad? Thanks Karrie and Rob for allowing me to document these growin’ up milestones!
