Senior Shoot

Last night I went out with a couple of lovely ladies who are graduating this year, Jessica and Colleen. They were not interested in traditional grad photos, but instead wanted to commemorate the event with a few photos of the two of them together, as well as some of themselves and their boyfriends. We had to reschedule a few times due to bad weather, but we hoped for the best last night and headed to the beach to get the shots. After what seemed like a hundred days of rainy weather, the sun broke through the clouds and we were able to get some great shots. Here's a little preview for Jessica and Colleen.

Grade 5 Grad

Last night I had the pleasure of getting together with a really sweet young lady named Allison. She is about to graduate from grade five and is moving into the middle school in the fall, so she and her mom wanted a few photos to document the occassion. We had a ton of fun and she was totally willing to do everything that I asked of her. It was a great time and I am really enjoying editing the shots. Here are a few of my favorites.

Butland Family

Last night I met up with the Butland family to do some family photos. It was a really fun shoot and, I must admit, a bit of a challenge because the Butlands have six people in their wonderful family. That may not sound so big, but four of those people happen to be under the age of five. Just the thought of having that many young kids tires me out, but Cindy and Warren are amazing parents. I was absolutely impressed with how all of the kids sat for photos and were very patient and happy the whole time. They are all really happy, well-behaved children. Here's a little peek at one of their shots and also a little snapshot I grabbed of the baby, Alexandria, while she was sitting in her stroller after the shoot.

Summer

Yesterday morning I had a shoot with the adorable Summer. You may recognize her from some photos that I did early last month when her baby sister, Cydney, was born. Summer is turning two and in typical two-year-old fashion, she did not want to have her photo taken. With some strategic placing of toys and a couple of games of peek-a-boo, we were still able to get some great shots of her. Here is a little sneak peek of the lovely Miss Summer.

My Little Turkey

For those of you who may not know, I have two little animals at my house. One is a monkey and one is a turkey. My monkey, also known as Ella, RARELY allows me to take her photo and is often seen running away from my camera. My little turkey, Lily, on the other hand, is still too little to run from the camera. I take full advantage of that right now and enjoy it while I can. She turned nine months old on the 20th (wow!), so I thought I should do a little shoot to document the event. I've seen this cheerios shot done before and I was super anxious to try it out myself. Even though Lily isn't quite eating cheerios yet, I thought she was at the perfect age to do it. Lucky for me, she didn't even attempt to put one in her mouth. I know I am seriously biased, but isn't she a cute little turkey?

Grad Shoot

On Friday night I had a really fun shoot with Lydia, who is graduating next month. She is just the sweetest girl and we had a lot of fun walking (and driving) around and trying out some different locations. I've only had the chance to work on a few of her shots, but I cannot wait to get back to the rest! Until then, here is a little sneak peek for Lydia.

Baby Austin

The other night I had the pleasure of working with 4-month-old baby Austin. He had the cutest, crazy hair and I absolutely loved his chubby little cheeks. Here's a little peek at baby Austin.
