Toddlers can be a tricky age to photograph. They are often far too busy discovering, exploring, and investigation their world to pause for a moment to look at the camera. However with a healthy dose of patience and persistence all around, we were able to create amazing portraits of this active little girl.

We started off at the beach in South Haven, Michigan. It was chilly and windy but we captured this gem.
