Ryan’s parents have brought him in for many mini sessions but this is the first time I was able to do a real deal portrait session of him.  I was excited!  Mini sessions can be a blur.  I see a lot of kids and not for too much time, but I always remembered Ryan.  He is just adorable!  I love his long hair and his parents always have him in great clothes.  It’s also always stuck in my head that it can take a minute for Ryan to warm up to the camera.  That was not the case now that he is four years old!  Ryan was chatting with me non stop and just being so darn cute!  I got great, great pics of this little guy!

One of my most photographed kids and best buddy, Logan, is four years old this year!  It’s always a treat for me to see Logan and her parents.  I would love to just chat with Mom and Dad, but honestly Logan and I are kind of best friends.  While Mom and Dad hang back Logan and I walk around, chat, make each other laugh and take pictures.  It’s almost like a play date!  Recently Logan told her Mom “Only Alissa takes my picture”.  Coming for a little kid that is a 5 star review!  We started Logan’s portrait at my studio and then walking around the building.  Logan’s Dad is an artist who also has a spot in Hope Artiste Village so we even got to take some pics in there.  Sorry other parents!  You can not have your photo session in Michael’s place amongst the metal, tools and fork lift!
