So I have been wanting to photograph a teen for some time . . . I have had an artistic vision in my head about the location and lighting for months - literally. And about 2 weeks ago I was granted the opportunity to photograph this handsome guy. I had a blast hangin' with him one morning as we explored a few spots that I had been dying to photograph. I could not have asked for a better subject. Thanks, B, for helping to fulfull my vision. Here are a few of my personal faves from the session . . .

I have got to be one of the most blessed people around . . . I get to photograph families like this for a living. Check out these sweet kisses for mom -- everyone say "awe" in unison.

And you cannot beat the lighting we experienced during this special family "moment". It was almost as if the love they feel for one another made them glow.

And then there was this gem of a moment. Honestly, there were so many great family images that I kind of just randomly picked one to share here. I, literally, could have shared 5 others without any hesitation.
You'd swear she was a supermodel posing with the wind machine blowing through her blonde wisps, but instead it is simply a 19 month old being herself. Cute as ever.
I'm off to bed. I have a few other sessions that I am editing and will upload "sneak peeks" again next week. Until then . . .

I can't get enough of these images . . . she is just the sweetest little bundle of energy around! The sun was blazing full-on while I was photographing, but she didn't mind a bit. She loved exploring the backyard. Check out her little teeth :) . Thanks for sharing her with me, C & B.

This little one stayed alert the ENTIRE photo session . . . really amazing. It is so rare to catch a newborn wide awake and this allowed for some fabulous images with eyes wide open. I think mom was hoping for some sleepy baby pictures, too, but how could she resist these? Pure delight.

This next one is a bit unconventional, but I loved the baby's outstretched fingers and the interaction between mom and baby with the bottle. Sometimes an unexpected image will grab me, and this is simply one of those images.

I love bringing loved ones together in a natural, outdoor setting for a photo shoot. For this session, we had a fabulous morning - sunny and about 60 degrees. Ahhhhh . . . I adore fall photo shoots. And come on, is this little guy not the cutest you have ever seen??
