Sneak Peek From an Extended Family Session...

I just wanted to put a couple photos up from an extended family session I did last weekend... 5 kids under the age of 7 and 6 adults! I have so many photos to sort through, here are just a few of the grandkids...

This is the baby, "E", playing peek-a-boo through the slats of the swingset...




We had a few issues with "Firefox" and "DeeDee" (two crazy little stuffed animals) trying to take over the photo session... at times they kept jumping into the photo blocking kid's faces!! But once we got the animals under control, things went more smoothly!

And here's one of the remaining four grandkids clowning around and posing for me...

I've been busy... here's a quick look at a recent session

August is looking to be a hot month... both in terms of temp (can you say 90s?!) and bookings! I have had 4 sessions so far this month already and I'm loving it!!


Here is a quick preview of yesterday's session... as I get more done I'll be posting more, but I promised mom (my friend!) a peek.

These kids were great!!! They're friends of my kids, who accompanied me to "help" with the shoot, and they all had fun exploring in between shots and location changes.

Miss "M" was a pro at this... between those dimples and her beautiful brown eyes I could have photographed her for hours!


Her brother, "A" was not quite as interested in taking photos as chasing frogs and snakes, but I still managed to get him to stop for a few shots!! This is one of the "good" smiles, although I did see my share of goofy head tilts and a few "are you kidding me?" looks when we started talking about pink four-wheelers (at my suggestion that he'd look cute on one)!





And finally one great shot of them together... they were remarkably cooperative in the hot sun (at this point it was about 10:15 am and the temp was pushing 90 already with about 200% humidity)! I know I would have been a lot crankier than they were!


And last but not least, a shot of the water snake we all spent some time checking out when we arrived on location... can you believe my crazy kids still wanted to take off their sandals and wade?!





So thanks to the whole family for a very fun session... and to Dad for being such a great reflector holder! Hope you enjoy the photos...
