Family of Four

A couple of months back I did a fun photo shoot of an adorable family. Let me tell you, when there is a one year old in the mix and he's on the move, the photo shoot follows him, not the other way around. You get the shots you get and when he's done with this scene and on to the next, grab your bags, because the traveling band is headed down the road to the next destination. It doesn't get boring, that's for sure.

This was a cute big sister - little brother duo that both had fabulous smiles.

Beautiful family...beautiful photos.

Twins

I was so excited to photograph a set of twins. I crocheted some special outfits and had a whole set of different backgrounds and props specifically for two.  I had it all planned out in my mind and on paper. Little did I know that these little girls had agendas of their own and I was not consulted.

Let me just tell you that shooting twins is not as easy at it looks. At just twelve days old, I fully expected them to be tiny little sleeping bendable buddies. Not these two. These little sisters were wide awake and running the show.

Would I photograph twins again? In a heartbeat!! I still had a blast and learned a valuable lesson. Have a plan, but be prepared for anything and just go with the flow. Which pretty much goes for any photo shoot.

What a cute little family. I would love to watch these girls as they grow.

The Natural

A couple of months back I did a family photo shoot for a girl I briefly worked with. She had a daughter, Katie, that was seven and they hadn't had family photos done since she was two. It was time.

So, the day came and Katie didn't want to come. She was probably having a good time doing what she was doing. Most kids don't want to "change gears" and she probably didn't know what to expect. Once we got started, she quickly realized that she was the star of the show and we were having a fabulous time. We walked from one end of the park to the other taking pictures all along the way. On our way back she says, "I could do this all day!"... "Me, too!", I said.

We got to the playground and she wanted to play on the equipment. Her parents sat down on the bench and I followed her around as she slid and swung. Then I pulled out a blanket and had her jump on and pose. With every click, she changed her pose, her smile, her look.

She was a natural!
