I think I am almost caught up with blogging. Not editing of course. But blogging! Yay!

This session was at a totally new location. I wasn’t sure of what to expect as with all new locations but the photos online looked beautiful lol. I didn’t have time to scout unfortunately so I had to put all my eggs in a basket and hope for the best. We got there closer to sunset. It wasn’t to hot but the beach was incredibly crowded. I was a bit worried that we wouldn’t be able to find a spot to really give these photos the “feel” I was going for! There is a VERY long boardwalk that reaches down both ends of the beach though so we kept on trekking till we found just the right place. The boys were a bit shy but I got them to warm up to me and their little princess “C” seriously could have been a baby model for a Gap ad. With two super gorgeous parents in the mix I knew that we had potential times a million. As we got farther down the beach the crowds started to thin. We found a cool little bike path area and then a very non busy section with a pretty sand dune and started to snap and I seriously think I got one of my favorite sessions ever with this family! You will totally see what I mean!

Ha! Sorry for the overload! Picking favs isn’t a strong point of mine!

Little A has come to me a few times before with her sweet mommy! As a matter of fact they were one of my very first clients when I opened my season officially last year and I have grown quite attached to them. They are the perfect example of a wonderful client turned friend relationship! S gave me full creative control over Little A’s wardrobe and when I found her dresses online I knew that they would be perfect for A. She is such a little fashionista through and through. She also has a ton of personality and is a total treat to work with. When we got to the location it was a little bit cooler then it had been initially that day but not much. It was pretty mucky and hot and our location was fairly wooded and required a bit of walking. Miss A started out chipper, excited to model and had quite a little arsenal of poses. We snapped away and got some REALLY fun photos. Roughly 20 minutes into the session though I think Miss A was done with the heat and the posing and we kind of nurtured her along. I know this is going to sound nuts but I am kind of glad that the mood changed. We got such a range of photos from this day. Some fun and quirky and some a bit more emotive. You really got to see the bond between Miss S and her daughter A. Seriously S was so patient and so nurturing. I got to sit back and photograph their amazing relationship. I love these two!! I of course though that Miss A had some fun on our session and I look forward to our very next meeting whenever that may be!! She is def going to be a model of mine for commercial work because she is the prettiest little girl and so sweet to boot!!

I think there is this stigma that photo sessions need to be all smiles to get beautiful photos. I guess my goal isn’t to be perfect. Its to be real. 🙂 And we certainly got photos that represented Miss A’s mood on this particular day. I love when kids aren’t pressured to perform any certain way. It allows to really get some wonderful moments. Moments that can not other wise be fabricated.

I hope you genuinely enjoy these S! I also hope by now you know how much I adore you gals and print a couple of these super big for your new home!! I can’t wait to see it!!

And I am now booking fall sessions particularly October and early November so contact me if you are looking for the opportunity to preserve some special one of a kind moments for your own sweet family!
