A sunny, spring day and a gorgeous setting...

Yesterday, Memorial Day, we had a gorgeous, warm day and an equally amazing historic location for this photo shoot. T. and S. were so kind to one another during our time together and they showed me all around their grandparents' beautiful property. They even had a few secret hiding spots to share with me (hint: some very large, old boxwood trees!).

By the end of the session, T. and S. were so relaxed in front of the camera that I felt like they were old pros! These two shots truly convey their sweet relationship. I will look forward to working with them again later this summer for another portrait project.

A "grown-up" session

Who knew May could be so rainy? We've had days and days of chilly weather and I was unable to do my Saturday morning session. Bring on the sunshine!

In between the rain I met with R., a great young author who is ready to move away and enter a master's program. His Mom convinced him that she needed a nice photo of him for her walls since she had none that were recent. R. conceded and we spent some time in their gorgeous yard where I had many nice locations for photos. Thanks, R. for giving your Mom a great Mother's Day gift --- a nice photo of you! I also love the shot of R. and his Mom.

Here are my favorites from our session. I'm hoping I find one of these photos on the back of R.'s best-seller in the near future.

A new blogger

Well, I have decided that it is finally time to begin blogging! I've kicked off the spring season with several shoots this past week. Here's a few selections from them.




Little M. made time to feed her little baby during our shoot. Later, despite the rainy, windy, spring weather, we made our way into a field to pick a few wildflowers. Thanks, M. for a fun morning!







Later in the week, I headed to a local park for a session with three young sisters. The littlest sister gave me a good workout while her Mom and I chased her throughout the park! It was a gorgeous, sunny day for a shoot and the girls were so great to work with. Here are a few of my favorites.






To end my busy week I worked with some close friends and their three sweet kids. There were so many nice shots to choose from that I had a hard time decided which ones to post. L., their young son, is just learning how to play baseball. The look on his face in the shot below is priceless. What a big boy he's becoming! E. and L. enjoyed playing amongst the gorgeous spring flowers in their yard.
