These poor kids……..the day I shot them it was about 30 degrees, but SO WINDY!  We couldn’t reschedule because some of them were from out of town.  The location we had planned on was on top of a hill, and there was NO WAY that was going to work.  So we hiked down as low as we could get………..and shivered, and shot.  It was miserable!  The kids were shaking, my hands were numb, we were trying to hurry, the light was bad…..ugh!  But, wow!  I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything worked out. 

And wouldn’t you know it?  The next day was mild and sunny!  Sometimes, you just go with what you’ve got, and laugh later.

And there are always out-takes when shooting a group………..

I love this one, because these little guys were freezing……so the cuddling was keeping them warm!…………….right?

And after the group, the individuals………the easy part……….whew

I’ve been editing like crazy, and slacking on the blogging because I’m finishing up Seniors and still in the midst of the Christmas rush, but I decided to take some time out and share some of my favorites from a session I just completed editing.  I loved all the shots, but I had to narrow it down.  I just picked a few that would show her personality, which I adored!! Not only is she a gorgeous girl who’s got a great personality, but her whole family is fantastic.  I was completely impressed by the way they interacted and was glad to get the opportunity to have some time with them. Her little sister and brothers held reflectors during the shoot, and kept us laughing the whole time…..they were so much fun!  And this is why I love my job.

So last week I shot this gorgeous baby and her proud big brother.    Her mom had a TON of cute headbands and little tutu’s, I was loving them.  All I needed was a baby that wasn’t crying while big brother was being good………..cause you see, big brother was good, and baby was good, just not at the same time!  Three hours later, (or three and half?) I think we got maybe one or two of them being good together….whew!  So even though mom probably won’t like this one, I just adore it!

And I was loving her super cool green couch, it wouldn’t work in my house….but I loved it anyway!  Maybe I should get one just for pictures!

And who doesn’t love a little angel with a pacifier?

I had such fun with these girls, and they’re all so gorgeous, they’re gonna be heartbreakers! 

Oh my gosh, I’ve been gone for a month and now I have a TON of editing to do.  Everyone who’s waiting for pics from my vacation is going to have to wait just a little longer, until the kids are back in school and I’ve had some time to go through them, AND after I’m done with my client’s photos. 

So the other day I had such an awesome time photographing this senior.  We met at his house and then headed out to a few locations.  His cousins were at the house too, and threatened to come watch…..which they did.   His mom did a little assisting for me (okay, a lot of assisting, and she did a GREAT job)  and I took a TON  more pictures than I usually do.  Anyway, Brandon, here’s a sneak peek for you, your gallery will be uploaded in the next couple days.  Enjoy!

I took my daughter out into the bottom pasture to take advantage of some evening light.  I had to coax her, but once she decided to help me out, she was really cooperative.  The next thing I knew she was saying, “Mom, take a picture of me with a flower in my mouth!  Mom, take a picture of me spinning,!  Mom, take a picture of me hiding behind a tree!  Mom, take a picture of me smelling a flower!”  Maybe she was a little TOO into it!  Anyway, some of these are my picks, and some of these are hers! LOL
