Toddler photography is always fun-filled, full of smiles, games and quick action. Toddlers are just the best, aren’t they? One year olds and two year olds encapsulate all of the wonder and whimsy of early growth and development.
Childhood photography is a most beautiful opportunity to preserve these innocent and beautiful moments forever. Here is a recent toddler photoshoot I did with little Gabby. Her playful personality and precious smile were on display. I’m happy to say that her family received some beautiful and treasured toddler pictures during that sweet afternoon in my Gainesville, FL photography studio.
Toddler Portrait Photography
Toddlerhood happens right after babyhood and is marked by many milestones. Toddler photography captures the rapid growth, adorable behavior and changes that are occurring each day in your little one. Toddler portrait photography provides an environment where a skilled photographer can capture the essence of new personality traits and burgeoning curiosity.
Moms and dads love bringing their toddlers in for a special toddler photoshoot. We always work together to craft just the right setting. Because of this collaboration (and a good amount of creativity!), we always end up with plenty of fresh and fun ideas.
For Gabby, we selected a color palette that was soft and sweet, with some darker accents. It was the perfect blend of vintage and modern. The photos will endure, as there are neutral and colorful options that can be shared and beautifully printed to hang in their home. There was a great deal of romance in this photography session, with Gabby looking like the picture-perfect, loving little girl that she is.
Toddler Photoshoot Ideas
Gabby was sugar and spice and everything nice. This busy two year old had a photo shoot with all of the feminine touches. One of the beautiful things about photographer toddlers and young children is the ability to capture candids. Because they are so intuitive and smart, they will want to explore their environment. As long as that environment is set up correctly, a professional photographer can get great toddler pictures. I offer toddler portrait sessions that can include both posed and candid captures.

Toddler Photography Props
Part of the beauty of toddler photography is the ability to showcase growing personalities. Gabby has a big and beautiful personality! We decided to capture all of this cuteness by staging a tea party. Gabby’s tea party was replete with numerous toddler photography props. To support the theme, I set up her photoshoot to include:
- Vintage style pram
- Lace accents
- Vintage style, child-sized table and chairs
- A precious doll with coordinating outfit
- Colorful flowers
- A floral head wreath
Gabby was decked out in an adorable, maroon bib dress. For a second outfit, she wore a gauzy, floral dress with shiny pearl accents. Adding all of these creative elements gave Gabby plenty of items to interact with, which drew her out and gave us all of the smiles, love and joy.

Gabby looks like she is having so much fun with her tea party and doesn’t realize that she is being photographed. She is so cute and these toddler photos will look wonderful on her parents walls.
Gabby wasn’t the only one who had fun at her toddler photo session. Oh Debbie! She was so cute and I literally had a ball. It was a party for all of us! Thanks for commenting! See you next time!
Toddlers bring so much joy and passion for life in everything they do. They are growing and learning at such a rapid pace, that you can almost sense their minds and bodies expanding. The curiosity and cuteness of a toddler is like none other. To be able to capture this in photography is a gift that cannot be duplicated.
Gabby’s parents will enjoy these portraits on their walls for their lifetime and more.
Another beautiful session by Andrea Sollenberger Photography.
