Talley Girls Continued ...

Here are the rest of my favorite images of Ashtyn and Emilee together. There are SO many great ones of Ash and Em by themselves, so stay tuned for yet, another post from my best session yet! I love you girlies!

Vintage Look. Again, playing with my style.

This was the very LAST photo I took after 2 hours of shooting. I think it turned out pretty cute of the whole Talley clan. We will have to schedule another "family" shoot once everyone recuperates. I love me some Talleys!
I know Ash and Loree are dying for the rest, but just be patient. Hopefully this will hold you over!

Talley Girls PB#5

Meet Ashtyn, 13, and Emilee, 3 1/2 ... Those of you who know me know this family is basically family (no need to get technical ;) ) I never know whether to call Ash and Em my nieces or cousins. Again, no need to get technical. OK. I know my Aunt Loree is dying to see these and since I have teased her a couple of times already, I had to get a few up today. So, here is a sneak peek. I will complete their "real" blog as soon as I get a chance. I could seriously blog their whole session, but here are a "few" favs of them together. I love that the "Big Sis, Little sis" relationship really shines through in these.

Another favorite. I had to use some fun techniques on this one. Very "Rockstarish".

Because people like to know (and its always different from the family I'm photographing), this is my absolute favorite! Very Candid and natural.
I said it was only a small peek. Stay tuned for lots more! Oh, and leave comments ;)

The Hill Family PB#4

Holly Hill and I used to do Arbonne together and when she took me up on the freebie offer, I was so excited. I knew she had two cute little boys. Little boys are way fun to photograph. Holly warned me that they did not enjoy sitting still and boy was she right! Hayden, 3 and Hudson, 1 1/2, were all about running around and they wanted NO part in sitting still for even a minute. I think that is what makes their pictures that much more fun! They are literally candid moments I snapped really quickly (if I didn't, they were gone). I can't wait to get to photograph them again, as the few I did get are really cute, but mostly of them by themselves. Here are the favs.

Hayden, catching a glimpse of a turtle.

If you think he's cute on camera, you should see this little guy in person!

A mommy and me pic. love it.
We FINALLY got Hayden to stand still (with mom's death grip) for a minute and I could NOT get Hudson to look at me for the life of me ...
He's pointing at me. Doesn't his face just say "Here's your chance, you better click fast!"
This is a fav for sure. I love brother pics.
A second attempt at a family shot, but the lighting was really harsh here.
Both boys were soaked by the end!

This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken so far. If helps that he just melts my heart. He really makes me want a boy so bad! Maybe I can just steal him ;)
Here Hayden's waiting "patiently" lol for his shoe that fell into the creek!
OK, now for a little behind the scenes. Sorry, Holly, I had to! These are way too fun.
Hudson just dropped his pants. I think he was sick of Hayden getting all the attention and this was his way of saying, "Hey, look at me!"
I would have insisted that we give the family shot another go, but this was the note we ended on. Both boys hit a wall! Maybe next time. Sorry, Hayden, I hope you will forgive me!

Fowler Family PB#3

Meet the Fowler Family ... my Uncle Robert, Aunt Christine, and cousins, John, Christopher, and Talon. We decided we didn't need to venture anywhere to get some great shots because the back of their property was perfect! Trees, a creek, even tractors and dump trucks ... a photographer's dream. The boys were SO good. Keep in mind, the majority of pics with John and Chris usually have bunny ears and silly faces. Here are my favs from the quick session. At the end the boys rode their motorcycles, so stop back by as I will post those later. I know Christine is dying for a peek so here they are.

We were trying to get a few of Rob and Christine alone and the boys kept hiding behind the tree. This is truly a candid moment.

This is Christopher's favorite place to climb, so we had to get a few of him on his daddy's tractor.
The prefect old dump truck ... for pictures that is!
This is definitely one of my very favorites.
Talon is such a snuggler and he wanted his daddy. A little bw vintage.

Another fav too. Look at that grin!


Here ya go Christine ... is EVERYONE looking at the camera? I think they are!

What beautiful boys. Can you not tell they are related?


Thanks for letting me catch some great shots! Hope you like them. I will post motorcycle pics later. John and Christopher deserve something for being SO good!

Madison PB#2

Meet sweet Madi! Her mom, Jennifer, and I are good friends and I couldn't wait to get my camera out to shoot little Miss Madison ... you can see why! She is 2 1/2 and such a beautiful little girl. I seriously could have blogged all the photos from this shoot (I narrowed it down to the best 100!) I think I need to learn not to be so trigger happy. OK, enough from me ... Madi wasn't too into the photo shoot to begin with, but I still got some great shots and I hope her little personality shines through in these.

These are from our second stop (a huge field of wildflowers I've been scoping out for a while now). Full sun + White Dress = HUGE learning experience for me!

She is twirling in this one!

Jenn didn't want her pic taken, but I couldn't resist this moment.
Meet my NEW Chair I got for $25, thanks to Aunt Loree, at the Decatur city garage sale. We found it at our second stop and later saw the same one in an Antique store for $135. I'm so excited about it you will see why!

Madi was pretty much "done" with pics after the flower field, but I was just dying to get a few with my new chair so we took a few more before the mosquitos completely devoured us! All my favs are with the chair, hence all the vintage effects.

This is my favorite favorite. She totally did this on her own. What a little model!

These next few are actually from the beginning from our first location when Madi was really not into me taking her pics AT ALL. They all are basically candid (me following her around while she did her thing :) After a while, Jen went to the car and I told her to take her time. Once Mommy was gone, Madi was a superstar!
This one is the very first pic I snapped. I love it.

Playing Peek-a-Boo
Doesn't she have the sweetest little face?!


A fav!


She's showing me her painted toenails!

I love the expression in this one!
More Peek-a-boo
Make sure to leave me a comment telling me which ones are your favs! It will help me figure out what other people like so I can keep doing more of that.
