The Many Faces of a Toddler!
The term 'Toddler' refers to when a child learns to walk which invariably happens around 1 - 2 years of age. It's a very important time in a child's development as it's the time between infancy and childhood when they learn and grow in many ways.
The frustration, confusion and mood swings during the toddler stage are normal as they're long on will and short on skill. Along comes the tantrums as they are finding their place in this big, scary world.
The toddler stage is when children learn to walk, talk, solve problems and relate to others. They love to be independent and want to do things for themselves as they're bursting with energy and ideas and yearn to explore.
I love this time as your child is so expressive and can be sad, upset and angry one minute and then burst into laughter at the smallest thing. This is a wonderful time to capture those moments.

Photos in Winter | Family Lifestyle Photography Bayside, Melbourne
Winter is here and it's so nice hibernating inside in the warmth. Despite what people might think, Winter is a great time to take photos. Often when the sun does shine you get very bright, crisp gorgeous light.
Although the days might be shorter, the relatively low directional sunlight means that the sun is never directly overhead. This means you can often shoot all day and not get unpleasant shadows from overhead light.
Cloudy days makes taking photos a lot easier because you don't have to worry about harsh shadows over the face or uneven light. A lot of clouds produces beautiful, soft lighting. Sure, it's great to take pictures when the sun is glowing and warm light is everywhere but soft diffused light is just as pretty in my opinion. Foggy mornings give a real ethereal feel to photos or rugging up down the beach with the wind blowing gives a romantic feel.
So don't feel put off having photos taken in Winter and if all else fails we can always photograph your family indoors.

The Memories come flooding back....
Searching through old photos, I came across some that I took at my son Toby's local playgroup
8 years ago. Oh, the memories! To think he was once this little toddler! Coincidentally, this is where Watch Them Grow Photography started. Thought I'd share some of them with you -
