Sweet Kiddos in Sunfowers

I am rather behind right now in blogging but hope to remedy that over the next few weeks.  So, if you have been checking this site and have not seen much activity, expect that to change as I add several new blog entries each week.  I am super excited to finally have time to share more of what was captured this past Fall into Winter!  So many wonderful pictures of individuals I had the privilege of working with!  Each new set of pictures bring back many fond memories made with others during their sessions!  So, despite the fact there is snow on the ground outside today, I get to look at these sunny pictures from a warmer day filled with bright and happy yellow!  🙂

We all have our thing…something we really like, are drawn to and enjoy.  D, loves sunflowers and has always wanted some pictures of her kids amid the cheerful flowers.  After visiting about what she envisioned, I checked into a few options and kindly received permission from the farmer of this field to take some pictures with the crop he had growing.  It was the perfect spot, kinda remote but easy to access.  We worked quickly and caught quite a bit before we lost light.  I am thankful to say this Mama was very pleased with her pictures…but then who wouldn’t be with such adorable kids?  🙂

I was also asked if I would be able to play a little with the images and create what you see below…out of the ordinary for me, but I enjoyed working on them!  🙂

A view of the setting sun as I headed home after the session…

She Turned 2

It was an honor to take pictures for A and her Mother – the two of them are quite a team!  They have been through a great deal together and it is only making them stronger.  So, in addition to locking in A’s 2 year milestone, we snagged quite a few of the two of them together!  Each one of us should be grateful for the days we have together for we are not guarenteed tomorrow!

I don’t usually play a lot with actions but decided to do so with these few pictures.  I thought it added a rather timeless feel.

2 year olds are on the move constantly!  🙂

 The material for this dress came from a formal A’s Mom once wore.  A’s Grandmother worked wonders and created this little dress for her to wear.  It turned out so cute!

 We ended with a visit to see the baby goats nearby…I think she liked them.  🙂

All my best to these two, wonderful individuals!

Little Miss B and Her Family

It is so cool how God works…I went to a conference and ended up sitting next to a neat individual with whom it was very easy to visit!  During the course of our conversation we discovered that we shared many similar things…we saw each other the next day, and have stayed in touch since.  🙂  A few months after the conference it worked out for me to take pictures of her youngest, B, who was turning two!  What a cutie she is – such adorable, big brown eyes!  In addition to taking pictures of B, my friend decided to bring the rest of her crew still at home and add them to a few pictures.  Her hope was to get a good shot of everyone to surprise her husband with for Father’s Day.  🙂  What a great idea!  Long story short, the surprise element was removed when her husband joined us for the evening but the bonus for us was that we got to meet him too!  🙂  Despite the wind that was whipping around that day, I love the pictures we captured in honor of B’s two year milestone and I really like the family pictures taken as well!  What an inspiring family that God has done and continues to do amazing things for and through!  So honored to know them!
