I had so much fun on Friday evening shooting this beautiful girl. She is getting ready to start her final year at the school that I grew up in and I just love her. Three things:
1. My daughter wants to be just like her.
2. She is as sweet as pie.
3. She is totally gorgeous and I am so jealous of her beautiful blue eyes.
Okay that was four. Thanks for being awesome, Kaitlyn!
I have been photographing these girls for a few years now and they are used to being drug from place to place by me with camera in tow. This time was no different. Lots of camera torture. Little did we know that it really WOULD be painful this time…the place we went was full of chiggers! Chiggers or not, I think we got some great shots. Hopefully, they will continue to let me shoot them for years to come, but we learned two valuable lessons: 1-Don’t roll around on the ground in a random wooded area and 2-Bring along a can of OFF for the devil-chiggers.
Spunky girls are my favorite kind. The ones with personality are the ones who make me love doing this. And boy did she have it. AND THOSE CURLS! For goodness sake, could she be any cuter? We went out to Bickam Dickson park in the morning for this shoot and it ended up being one of my favorite sessions so far.
I asked her mama to get in some shots, too, and I am so glad I did because I love they way they turned out.
As I was mowing the yard, I saw some beautiful light in the back of our yard. After much coercing and begging shamelessly, she went with me to get a few quick shots. By time we got out there, the sun had dipped behind the trees and wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but I still love these. My mini-me.
I was sooo nervous as I drove to their house. My palms were sweaty and my stomach was doing flip flops, but as soon as I met this little baby boy and sweet mama, I felt completely at ease. I had so much fun photographing this little man. His mama and grandmother were so patient with me as I poked and prodded their little angel. I hope I always have as much fun photographing newborns as I did with you guys. Thank you for letting me come into your home.
