James and his parents had their family session this evening!  We are enjoying such a gorgeous autumn in Minnesota, and used gorgeous red sumac and prairie grass as our backdrop today.

Getting a toddler to sit still for portraits is definitely not for the faint of heart.  The adults wanted cute “toddler sitting in tiny chair” pictures…

…and James wanted to RUN AND BE FREE!!!!

We did manage to trap him in some prairie grass long enough to sing Wheels on the Bus and get a smile out of him, and from then on it was just play time.

This was his favorite portrait pose.

James also took some time to explore the flora and fauna with his parents.

And of course mom and dad get their own picture, too!

Mom even got some slobbery kisses at the end!

What a great evening for pictures!  I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!
