This was such a beautiful photo session. A little girl turning two, a dressed up mom and her son all combined together to capture a magical moment.

First we had storytime with mom to set the mood.

The little one, got a little upset so I got to spend extra time with her big brother to create this lovely little boy meets a dragon photographic illustration below. Especially since we were photographing on location next to a forest, we found a lovely mossy tree to take a few more images off the trail.

Photographing kids on-location is the best way to capture a true and authentic fairytale moment. No fake trees or pretend logs or mushroom, this was living moss and sunlight filtering through growing trees complete with some mud. 

Finally, the birthday girl began to smile again and I was able to capture this lovely portrait of her, butterflies added in later per request. 

A final image created of the two siblings together sitting on a bench that we found in the park.
