Greensboro Children’s Photographer – Sweet & Sassy Redhead
Wow.. I absolutely adored photographing this little girl. Not only are her and her momma the sweetest ladies you’ll ever meet, she is just the perfect little model in front of the camera. She had some of the most beautiful outfits for me to pick from and you can see she knows her poses and how to glam it up for the camera. Its so fun for me to get a little bit older girl since most of the time I see alot of babies and toddlers. I love doing photos for those ages of course but there is such a fun vibe when doing a session for a child who is getting a little bigger. They are really discovering who they are at this age and what they’re passionate about. Whether it be clothes and dance like this little lady, or baseball and barbeque like another little boy I know, this age is just so fun. I hope you enjoy a few of these favorites from our session together!
ISR lessons – a personal story – Star Aquatics in Greensboro
I wanted to share something with you that is near and dear to me. We’ve spent the last 4 weeks, 5 days a week taking our kids to ISR lessons. For those of you who aren’t familiar with ISR ( you’ll get a good idea by watching the video below), I encourage you too google it and see what its all about for yourself. Basically though it teaches babies and toddlers how to survive in the water should they happen to fall in. We personally do not have a pool, nor do we spend alot of time at the pool. What motivated me was that drowning is among the highest causes of death of children under 4 and that I as a mom have a responsibility to do everything in my power to protect my kids. I’ve invested in an alarm for our house, I’ve invested in good carseats for our vehicles, I’ve invested in baby gates, plug covers, etc etc.. why wouldn’t I invest in keeping my children safe around the water? Yes it was a big commitment both in time and financially but its one of those things that I personally couldn’t not do for my family. We made it work!
Another statistic I recently heard was that it takes just 18 seconds for a child to drown. It takes me more than 18 seconds to turn away, grab my phone, answer it and then look back for my child and find they’ve fallen into the pool/pond/lake whatever. Wow! If that doesn’t motivate you, I dont know what will!
So, here is my 13 month old in her 4th week of ISR lessons. She’s got probably 2+ more weeks to go until she’s mastered her skills but I felt like now was a good time to share. Just click on the link below to be taken to the video

Thanks for watching and I hope this has been encouraging that you can keep even your babies safe near water!
