Arianna’s dad, Ben, is our neighbor, and one day, while he was out walking with his dog and little Ari, he stopped and asked if I would be interested in photographing his daughter. Of course, I was honored!

Ari just turned 2 years old in May, and she is the most adorable little daddy’s girl! She was a trooper during the whole session, which made for a fun and relaxing time for everyone.

Ari was so cute throughout the session. She sucks her thumb when she is tired and seems to truly love her family (it was so cute when they put their heads together—those were some of my favorite photos) and to love interacting with their dog, Eva.

My favorite images are the ones that captured just the right moment, like the one where Ari is looking down at her skirt as the wind blows her hair. I also loved the picture of her snuggling with Mom.

Thanks again, Ben & Emily, for bringing Arianna to me and for allowing me to capture her at this stage in her life.
