We had nine families sign up for this”playdate” session at the Arboretum.  They are all in a Mom-to-Mom group together and the kids ranged in age.  It was SO much fun!  Everyone got 10-15 minutes of picture taking– and the kids were happy and easy!  Here is one pic from each family… and I’ll have the rest ready in a few weeks!  Thanks to Shelly for setting it up for her group!  I hope everyone had a relaxing time enjoying the beautiful flowers!

ENJOY:

And yet, I’ve had three kids ask me why they are purple (including my Ryan!)… good question!

It’s pouring down rain right now, so I’m hoping that it is not ruining the beautiful flowers because I still have about 10 more families who want pictures… sorry to those who had scheduled sessions for tonight.  Darn Mother-Nature!

Here are some from last week… enjoy:

This 15 year old is venturing into modeling/acting… so his Mom found me through a friend to take his portfolio shots.  He was a doll… was game for anything and had the most piercing, beautiful eyes.  I think he’s going to go far…(oh.. and his reluctant brother was darn cute himself!)

  • 1 Stephanie: Another great shoot....love the B&W of him walking down the RR tracks. Looks like it could be in a magazine :) (16.04.10, 07:31PM)
  • 2 Kathryn K: totally agree with Stephanie... LOVE the b/w on RR.... (17.04.10, 04:54PM)
  • 3 Kim Isakson: Wow! amazing pictures! I love the trampoline shot and the RR shots! The close up with the black and white floor back ground really makes his eyes show up great! I think that has to be the perfect face shot to submit. I can't wait to see them all! (sorry for all the exclamation points, but i am sooooo excited about how these turned out! ooopps, there's another one)

This sweet thing was so much fun to follow around.  She had been to the park we used before, so she knew where she wanted to take me!  And… her favorite location was the fountain for sure… or maybe the fish pond… or the lollipop bench!  She was so easy to photograph– and I loved what we came away with.  Great meeting you all…. and we’ll be in touch soon!

ENJOY:

Oh, what a nice change of pace senior sessions are…. Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE babies and little kids, but Seniors… just a nice change sometimes!  They do what you ask without a lollipop present, they actually are there because they want their picture taken for a reason…. and the sessions are quick and painless for everyone involved.  :)  At least that is my take on Senior Pictures… so, I think I might try to do more.  If you know any seniors, send them my way.  I had a great time with Ryan.  He’s a senior at Hebron– and you’ll probably figure out where he’s going to college.  He is a sweetheart.
