Kingsten is turning 2

I'm not even going to attempt an apology. My blog life is lacking. 

Kingsten, turning two, and excited about everything. What a sweet little guy. His blue eyes are amazing. Gonna be a heartbreaker some day. He was so much fun and in two year old spirit had me laughing.

Where'd They Go....

If this session had a catch phrase it would be “Where’d they go?” Because we kept losing kids left and right. Haha!!! I guess that happens a lot when you have four kids with endless energy and imagination.

So you loyal followers know that I love urban settings. I love brick structures, alleys and doorways, fire escapes and graffiti. And it’s true my favorite places to shoot are old city structures. (Roanoke and Nashville being my two favorites so far) But there is something to be said for the country and mountains. The place chosen for this session was probably one of the most beautiful landscapes that I’ve ever photographed. There were no power lines intruding and it was pretty easy to feel at home. A special thanks to Margie and Kenneth for their permission to use their property.

These children are gorgeous. I know I say that almost every session, but seriously, they are. It was a perfect fall day and as I said before, a perfect location. Yes the kids kept disappearing (they had a lot of room to play) but when we found them this is what happened.

Stay beautiful!

Peggy

I love this lady so much. She’s a sweet friend and such a great person. If you ever want to do something just for yourself book a photo session. We had such fun and look how wonderful the final result turned out. Peggy you are such a great friend and I love you.

Stay beautiful!

Kendall

As a whole, this session couldn’t have been any better. Beautiful weather, beautiful light, beautiful little girl. Every ingredient needed for a success. You guys know I’m simple. I like to photograph people not props. And although I goo and gah when I see elaborately designed circus themed sets or hot air balloons and pirate ships by some of my favorite photographers, that’s just not my style. I’ve found that on the themed sessions I have done, I rarely even capture the props and they become a background distraction to the smiles and eyes that I see through the lens. I guess as an artist we each create something different. 

Kendall is five and she reminded me of my own daughter at that age. She was eager and willing and a real natural in front of a camera. In fact she may have been a little too natural. She could probably give lessons to other children on how to pose. Haha! 

Stay beautiful!
