So I’m playing catch up again today!! Way back in March or so I went out to take photos of little D and his family. He was a bit under the weather so a few weeks ago I went out to do some new shots. He was feeling MUCH better and full of spunk and energy 🙂 I adore this family and the fact that they have a gorgeous yard on the water with really cool pieces of art and things in it doesn’t hurt either. 😉
Every once in a while I get someone contacting me to do a session with older kids. I am always thrilled to do it because it is so out of the norm for me. Granted, I have my silly songs and stuff down and I love love love working with little kids and babies, but older kids = F.U.N. I was a high school teacher in my previous life for five years so I have some experience with teens and a little younger. So when D. contacted me for some family photos of her four kids I was really excited. She told me what she was looking for and I suggested Borderland Park up in Easton – my absolutely favorite location for photos. So last Thursday on a chilly Veteran’s day, the kids and mom hopped into the car and made the drive up to Easton to meet me for photos. Now let me tell you, I hear 10 to 14 years old and I expect small kids. Not so – four gorgeous kids all looking older than they were (and some taller than me) got out of that car and were an absolute delight to photograph. Though I definitely have lost my touch in communicating with teens (dude, they’re hard!) it was still an awesome time. If I asked them to sit, they sat, if I asked them to smile, they gave me beautiful natural smiles. Love!!! They even jumped when mom and I asked nicely if they would jump 😉
I have been under the weather these past few days and as a result, I know mom has been waiting for these, so I could write more about how great they did, but I won’t. It was great to meet you guys! Enjoy 🙂
