I guess since it’s been so pretty and green this summer I haven’t gotten any requests for downtown sessions in a long time. I love shooting downtown so I decided to take my little girl there and get in a few shots before our summer at home was completely over. She’s really getting so much easier to shoot than she was 6 months ago and for a few gummy bears I got some really great pictures of her. I actually had to be super silly and pretend that I was going to eat the gummy bears I had give her. She kept laughing and saying she already had eaten them….I will do whatever it takes to get some cute smiles from her:) It’s still very hot here and these were taken at 1pm on a 100 degree day…I knew we only had about 15 minutes max to get the job done before it became waaaay to hot. Sorry for the picture overload but didn’t she do awesome?
I love this one so much I had to make it the header of my blog. She wanted to lay down herself and I just snapped.
She was really interested in the parking meeter and she kept trying to reach the top to put money in.
These are the shots were the gummy bears was used…it was so worth a total of 5 of them. I would gladly have provided 10 of them for these. She harly ever get any candy so it’s such a treat for her.
One of my favorites of her.
I love this one too.

I was so excited when Jake’s mother asked me earlier this year to take his picture and we finally were able to schedule his session. Even though the session was at 8:30 this morning it was so hot. We tried to stay in the shade as much as possible and got in the car for a little ac when we drive from place to place. I told Heather that I had no idea how this session would go…I never know what to expect from 2 year olds even though I have lots of experience dealing with my own little girl. She had packed some favorite toys, snacks and juice and we pretty much didn’t use any of it. I thought he would like the rocks and tree’s in the first location and I was right. He had the biggest smiles while arranging the rocks and toughing the branches. He’s just so so so cute and he has the most amazing eyes. They can light up a room.
Here is some of my favorite’s from today. I hope you like your sneak peak.
Look at his eyes, they just absorb light. I told you they were amazing.
He was really really wanting his mom to go with him on the steps. Look at his little sad face. I think it’s so cute.

I got to hang out with these two 7 year old twins on Sunday and I have to say that not only are they really really handsome, but they are funny too. They had so many ideas for pictures they wanted to try out and they kept cracking me up (and I edited some extra ones just for you guys that I will have in your gallery when it’s ready). I loooove funny kids. They make my job extra fun and it keeps me on my toes. We tried out several locations even though it was unbelievably hot that day and there was not really any complaining from any of the kids.
Anyway, I loved meeting you guys and I hope you like your sneak peak.
I have a serious girl so I really like serious faces as well. Isn’t he handsome?
Did I mention they had the best smiles? I know mom really wanted some smiles and she promised them a possible prize if she liked their smiles.
I have to some of the fun shots we took as well. I love shots of kids in motion so I had to include some running ones. Here’s how it went….
This one seriously crack me up. You might hate me for this one one day. I asked them to come up with something and this is what they gave me. Mom kept saying “do you have to stick out your butt so much?”. This one makes me laugh!!!

We have been so busy at my house with my parents visiting for the past month and dealing with my mother in law being diagnosed with cancer that I hardly have been taking any pictures at all. It’s been nice to be off, but I missed not taking much or editing much of anything. Since school ended we have also been to Atlanta 2 times, once for a wedding and once for six flags, and on a cruise to Eastern Caribbean which also added to the feeling of being away from home for so long. Anyway, I’m back now and I had to take my little girl out for a quick photo shoot this afternoon. I have to say that she was such a great model for me today which is something she’s normally not. She even really got the concept of bribing for the first time…she gave me eye contact and stood still for a piece of chocolate. I’m ok with a serious face and eye contact, no smiles needed to make me happy:) The shoot was absolutely worth 2 pieces of dark chocolate and 2 bug bites. Maybe now that she’s closer to turning 3 she will give me an easier time when it comes to taking pictures. Ohhh, I hope this is true:)
