Some sessions are sweet, and then there are sessions like this one — where the cuteness practically steals the sunshine. Maddie showed up to her senior session at Overton Park Arboretum with her mini-me, both in matching outfits and red glittery shoes that sparkled like they had their own personality.

The afternoon was hot, the flowers were showing off in full color, and these two didn’t miss a beat. Every giggle, every twirl, every tiny hand on her hip to match Maddie’s — it was all heart-melting. There’s something so special about watching a little one who just wants to be like the big girl, and Maddie handled it with so much grace and fun.

We wandered through the Arboretum, chasing the best light and laughing the whole way. Between the flowers, the shimmer, and the sister-style sweetness, it was one of those sessions that reminds you how joyful photography can be.
