As a photographer, some of my favorite moments come from exploring nature with little ones and capturing the magic of their wonder. Recently, I received an inquiry from a client excited about doing a photoshoot of their son at Lincoln Woods, one of Rhode Island’s most beautiful natural settings. When they asked if I had examples from past sessions, I revisited a previous toddler photoshoot I had done there—and it brought back memories of the sheer joy and curiosity that Lincoln Woods inspires in kids. Needless to say, the client loved the photos, and now, I’m thrilled to have another toddler photoshoot scheduled there next week!
