The A Girls!

I really enjoyed working with Aisha and her girls! It was a brisk late afternoon when we arrived at the location we chose. Aisha had made some gorgeous tutu's for the girls and I couldn't wait to see them! They all looked absolutely gorgeous in them! I was super excited to get all of them together, but as soon as I grouped them all, the youngest, Avaya, was not too happy! So I decided to get the girls individual shots first while Mom tried calming Avaya and seeing if maybe she was hungry.

First up was Ayla! I thought she would probably be the second most difficult out of the three girls since she was already walking/running, so it was a good idea for her to be next. She was an absolute doll though :) I had gotten some great expressions and smiles from her even though she was very active wanting to get up after I had snapped each shot lol

Next was Ariela, the oldest of the three girls! It had been a while since I had taken Ariela's pictures, but had recognized her right away when she showed me that smile! Ariela loved the camera and it loved her back! She was very good at posing, smiling, and looking at the camera. Of course, after years of practice, why wouldn't she be good at it? lol

All in all, it was a great session! Mom had her hands full with all three girls and kept it together till the end! She was very patient with all of them and was a huge help into getting them to stay still for the pictures! I can't wait to work with them again!

Tracey and the Kids at the Beach!

As one of my last official summer sessions, it was nice to end it with a big bang at the beach! I have known Tracey for years now since we had worked together at a corporate studio and she was always so kind as she admired my photography and eventually decided to schedule a session with me!

Her children I had remembered from taking their portraits in the past, and I had commented on how big they got! There not little kids anymore :( Her youngest, Gunner, was not very fond of taking pictures this day! Not in slightest bit lol. At least Gunner is super photogenic! In the end, we got some great shots! Her girls of course, Caityn and Kristen, we naturals in front of the camera! I noticed girls seem to love taking pictures much more than boys do! Maybe it's just a girl thing lol Anyway, I look forward to working with them again in the future! She already knows what her next location is going to be! ;)
