{portraits} Little Miss

February 11, 2010

If you’ve seen some of my work, you will recognize this Little Miss from previous sessions.  She always gives the most serious expressions–far beyond her years, and those eyes!    They the most beautiful color of blue-gray, and they seem to pick up the colors in just about any background.   I had too many photos to choose from, so this is a large share!

This next one is actually one of my favorite photos of the session, I just love her expression. Little does she know she’ll take the “let me fix that ponytail” stance many times before she’s doing her own hair.

I think this pose just comes naturally to girls!

To be honest…the state of “Baby” scared me a little…Baby had already been through the ringer – one arm hanging on by a safety pin, and a little bit of artistic hair colored on, but she loved her just the same as if she was brand new.

Thanks Shirley & JoJo for allowing me another session w/the Little Miss!

{bridal} One Hot Bride

August 19, 2009

It has been a hot, hot August. I know Shirley had been watching the weather in anticipation for this day, and when it arrived….it was just as hot as all the others!  With no break from the heat, I knew we’d have to stay inside as long as possible.  Shirley’s beautiful lace dress was also very heavy, and down here in NC, you don’t wear heavy in the heat very long!

We started with inside portraits, and reluctantly moved outside, but if I do say so myself, Shirley acted as if she had been doing this for years and didn’t even break a sweat in the 93 degree weather.

The bride & groom’s daughter also joined in for the shoot.  Isn’t she beautiful?
