H Family | Holiday

 

 

We got a good variety of shots - trying to keep the attention span of all 3 kids was not that easy.

Ring around the rosies...this did not end well for lil sis! 

 

What a little charmer! 

 

And here's little sissy! 

Dylan & Reese | Mini Session

 

 

 

With brave wings, she flies.

 

My girls rescued a hurt butterfly this past week.

 

 It was our first rescued animal experience.  

 

They were hesitant to hold it at first, but over the next few days they became so confident and caring.

 

We had so much fun taking care of Meghan the Butterfly.  She flew away after a few days (I assume!). 

Roses Are Red | Eleanor

 

I've always thought little Eleanor had a very Gerber baby look about her.

 

This was a super quick mini-session.

   

 It's funny, I was totally doubting that we'd gotten any good picts because it was rushed, not really planned, and somewhat spontaneous.   As is most things these days!  But I think she looks cute!

 

Love how she's holding her little toes :)

 
  

 

 She found all her body parts, like a good little 1 yr old :)

Happy Fall!

 

Hope everyone is enjoying fall! I'm definitely missing those beautiful southern fiery leaves and crisp air, but it's beautiful as usual out here in Cali! 

 

We even got to wear long sleeves one day so far! 

Savannah | Newborn

Meet this little sweetie, who took her merry sweet time coming to earth.

 

 And don't you love her name? Being a southern gal myself and having a soft spot in my heart and some good memories in the city Savannah (my home state!) well....I think we will be great friends me and her :)

 

These photos were taken somewhat last minute and unplanned, around 4:30pm on my kitchen table with dinner in the crockpot and my demanding 2 yr old in the high chair.  And the TV going. 

 

  

 

I sooo wish we could've played dress-up longer because Savannah totally zonked out towards the last 10 minutes of these pictures but alas it was not to be!

Chasing Sunsets | Miss E

 

So much to say about this little firecracker. 

 

Her style is awesome and totally original. I'd call it "vintage eclectic".   Actual factual vintage, not wannabe poser vintage.  Makes her even more cool to me.  She pairs random pieces and patterns and layers and it always looks rad. 

And she's sweet. And creative. And talented. 

 

(And pocket size!)

  

Love that she brought props, just wish we had more time together but the sun was setting SO fast. Is the below pict not the coolest sunset backdrop ever!!??

 
  

 

Chasing Sunsets | Miss T

The first time I met Miss T was when we had been in California all of 1 month, and I picked her up to babysit for me (she came highly recommended).

 

When I pulled up and she got in my car, I was slightly taken aback--the girls is gorgeous and totally unaware.  (Keep in mind I had just finished a season of Americas Next Top Model so my potential-pretty-radar was at it's peak!).



We got out of the car to walk into my house and that's when I realized how tall she was.
I dumbly said "wow you're tall." [idiot].
  She laughed, "I get that a lot."

 

When people don't know they are pretty, doesn't it make them so much prettier?

  

(Well now she must know!)

 

It was so fun seeing how a bit of pose coaching (and hats!) could transform these girls.  I love that about photography.

 

Again, I always get a few snaps of the "regular everyday" person that we always see, but I also love seeing what is buried deep down.

 

The thing I feared about taking picts of these special girls is I didn't want them to think they are only beautiful with hair and makeup all done up, or with certain props, or a beautiful backdrop, or edited in black and white like the magazines.

Hopefully, they realize I do not have a magical lens.  And that it's truly that sparkle in the eye, that inner light from being good, and kind, and clean on the inside that shines through.
