These two were so friendly and amazing with each other. I don’t know if they always get along so good but I really think they not only love each other, but they like being together. They were both full of personality and mom melted my heart when she told me that the next day her son had wanted me and Cassidy to go with them for their ice cream treats.
Such an adorable family. Mom and I had discussed the challenges going into the shoot. We had to do it during the middle of the day which means bright, bright sunlight. There are also, not one, but two 7-month-old girls. She explained that one of them is very happy and smiles easily. The other one is very pensive…but adorable nonetheless! They drove from across town hoping that the girls would take a nap but they didn’t and then they hit lots of traffic.
We started with some posed shots and I tried just about anything to get smiles but they weren’t happening. We tried a couple of different set-ups and after just about giving up they started having some playful interaction and that turned things around. They are my faves! I really hope you guys love your peek.
Aaaawwww…
No smile needed! Is she adorable or what??!!!
When Miss K got out of the vehicle in her dress, boots and headband I got so excited. She is so photogenic! The last time we did pictures was indoors and I couldn’t wait to get some of her adorable attitude and cool attire in outdoor pictures. Her little brother, Mr. C, was so good, too. He was extremely smiley for me and you can’t beat that.
One of the things that was mentioned to bribe Miss K with was going to Chick fil A. And if you’ve read my blog at all you know that I keep them in business and might possibly turn into a nugget or fry. So as soon as we were done they headed there with me right behind them:) Hey, I can’t hear the name and not eat it!
This location was the absolute most gorgeous hidden diamond in the area. Thanks so much to the family that let us use it!!
This little guy was the cute little pumpkin baby from the blog back in October. He looks the same although a little bigger but he is now on the move and EXTREMELY fast and busy!! And we were lucky that big sis was able to be here for this shoot.
You want me to be still and pose?
How about I just bite her in the bootie?
Oh alright, I’ll just come up with my own backwards pose. Don’t I look cute sitting on top of her?
A couple of memorable things from this photo shoot. First, when we got to the location we heard an alarm off in the distance. I thought an ambulance was going to drive by but I realized that the sound never got closer. After it had been going for a while I asked them if they thought we had set off an alarm. Surely not because it sounded like it was at a building down and on the other side. And it went off the entire time we were there. But…..as soon as we moved way down the street it stopped! So much for that alarm being any good because no one ever showed up to check out what had set it off.
The next thing, and graceful I am not, was when my shoe caught on a small fence that we had to step over and I ate it. It happened pretty fast but I can remember all the things I was thinking as it happened….catch your balance, pull your shoe free, it’s only a little fence, it would be so embarrassing to fall, why can’t I just lean the other way so I don’t fall backwards…but there I went! And they were so kind asking if I was okay and helping me up.
Thank you N family for a wonderful and adventurous shoot:) Hope you enjoy your peek.
I cannot believe this sweet girl is two! I did her newborn pictures when she was brand new and it certainly doesn’t seem that long ago. I see her family several times a year and I always look forward to it. They are wonderful and trust me completely. And they even go along with parking on the side of the road and hiking over a ditch to find the perfect spot:) My girls went along to help and they fell in love with Little Miss K. She adored them and did pretty much anything they did….they sang, they jumped, they ran and danced. Towards the end she went up and started hugging them without anyone telling her to and they melted. It was soooo sweet.
I’m so glad I got to see you guys again…hope you enjoy the peek:)
I’m so glad that it worked out for pictures for this family. They are a military family currently serving in South Korea and were home for a short time to visit. We met up the evening before they left and they mainly played while I snapped lots of lifestyle pictures. Thanks for letting me document your family….you guys were a blast. Hope you enjoy the peek:)
I got the sweetest email from this mom when she decided to book for this spring (Thanks!). Her oldest reminded me so much of my 5-year-old at picture time. He had about ten thousand expressions for me and I was cracking up going through the pictures. I should have done a little collection of all his silly faces. His younger brother had his own agenda and was on. the. move! He also liked to throw whatever prop we gave to keep him busy and I must say he has a future as a quarterback or pitcher. Hope you like your sneak peek:)
no fun was had on this session at all. Can you tell? It started with meeting up with this great family and having their little girl run up and give me a hug. We had never even met and she had me at hello:) Then we proceeded to be silly and have fun pretty much the entire time. She was adorable and loves life. Mom is a teacher at the elementary school that my 2 younger ones go to. I love working with teachers or other professionals outside of their profession. You get to see them in a whole different light than how you “know” them. It was great meeting you guys and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Growing up I always wished that I had more cousins my age. I was born later for my parents…my sister and brother were already teenagers and most of my cousins were their age also. So, when I met up with Mr. K and his cousins I couldn’t help but feel excited for them. They’re all under six and live pretty close to each other.
Mr. K took a huge liking to the little green chair and once he did then he didn’t want any pictures without it (as you can see below…even in the group pic). He had been so good for his newborn shoot and then the one before Christmas and I was hoping that he was just as agreeable and happy for this one. And he was! His smile lights up his eyes and makes him the perfect little model. It was a pleasure seeing you again Mr. K and thanks for bringing your cousins along:)
