Some sessions are calm. Others are fast-paced. This one? It was all energy, laughter, and movement.

I met Brooks and Bo and their family at Rock Creek Park on a gorgeous fall morning. The leaves had turned, the air was cool, and the boys were ready to go. And by go, I mean run. Everywhere. All the time.

Brooks and Bo were full of that good kind of chaos- the kind that makes for real, joyful photos. They ran in opposite directions, made each other laugh, and kept us all on our toes. And while they did everything but sit still, we still captured so much love and sweetness between them.

That’s the fun of photographing young kids. You let go of the idea of "perfect" and lean into the play. It’s in those in-between moments that the real stuff shows up. A quick hug. A shared look. Hands grabbing sticks. Legs mid-sprint.

Their parents went with the flow and trusted the process. And Rock Creek Park, as always, gave us that soft light and fall color that makes everything feel warm and alive.

Love these wild, unscripted, and full of heart sessions.

If you’ve got little ones who don’t stop moving, don’t stress. Those sessions often turn out to be the most fun and the most meaningful.
