How I love my job!

These two girls (you may recognize them from last year when they both came in with their sister, Ava Jane) make me laugh so hard. So, we went out to the Botanical Garden on Sunday the 1st, but it was grey and dreary, then rained on us, and then my camera ran out of batteries right on the last shot I needed, so they came back out yesterday to finish up. It was grey and nasty the whole day except for that one little 45 minute section of sun we got last night when we were out there. We finished up the night at Marble Slab getting birthday cake ice cream ON my birthday. In fact, I think I may have turned 31 years old while we were sitting there. What a fantastic night!

Princess in the pears

This sweetie’s mommy drove all over Athens, Winterville and Watkinsville looking for places for a session in some Bradford Pears. I LOVE the place she found. It was SO windy and cold that day that I was glad I brought my cloak with me to go over the dresses.Kept this girl a little warmer and smiley for just a biiiit longer.

Look who’s 9 months!

Ok, perhaps she is SLIGHTLY older than 9 months. But seriously, NOT by much. I was so glad when mom called to schedule this….but then, started racking my brain for ways to make it different. Something they hadn’t had done before. See, this family visits us frequently, and I am always up for the challenge of making sure their sessions never look the same. Today, mission accomplished! I can assure you, neither sister has had this type of session before! Now…to rack my brain for some cool 1 year shots! I already have their Christmas photos planned in my head

We started our session outside the studio!

Then,we moved in to the natural light room…

And ended in the studio! You know, always gotta throw up a traditional shot every now and again

A fairy in the flowers

This little girl couldn’t have been cuter. I told her that she could go do whatever she wanted and she got this look on her face and shouted “REALLY??” I assured her that I would follow her and ask her to sit in a few special places, but she was in charge the rest of the time. She ran off about 10 feet and looked back and said “Um.. hello? You’re supposed to be following me?”
One of the special places I asked her to sit was in a new field of wildflowers. I was sooooo happy that she decided she would even though there were bees all around her that she was scared of.

A wild and crazy Friday night

These two sisters are amazing! Two hours of pictures, four outfit changes, eight different locations and a really long walk at the end of the night and not a word of complaint out of either of them. One even said “This is the best picture day of my whole life!” and the other replied “Oh yes, you’re so funny, Heather!” The more the evening wore on, the more silly they both got. The older one was totally born to be a rock star or a model; she’s so unconcerned with people watching her. The younger girl is Fancy Nancy through and through; she was all about the pettiskirts. Combined they made wonderful whirlwind of energy that wore me out, and left my face hurting from all the smiling I was doing. Mommy said she booked this session for them because the oldest had just lost her two front teeth and the younger had saved up her money to buy the grape dress for her baby doll (and the easter bunny brought her a matching one)!

Climbing trees is the best

This sweetheart is certainly one of the most amusing clients I’ve had in a while. She’s got a really crazy sense of humor and sure knows how to have fun. I gave her to option of doing the tree climbing ones first or second, but she wanted to do the froofy dress first and then climb trees afterwards. Worked out beautifully, and we sure had a blast out at the Botanical Gardens!

10 days new and sooo sweet

Meet Miss. L! She’s just 10 days old and already holding her head up pretty well. She’s very aware and kept fighting off sleep and HATED to be naked, but her mommy and I eventually won out and got what we wanted anyway. She kept giving me these LOOKS when she was fighting off sleep like “Hey, really, this is not what I signed up for. Who are you and what on earth are you doing to me?” I HAD to grab some shots of this stunning nursery while I was there too; isn’t it amazing?
