Isn't it funny how we all hate having long grass. Every weekend we mow the lawn... and yet, long grass makes a photographer's perfect location.
I had to keep this photo - I just love her hair... so long and perfect:
Photographer tip: How NOT to Frame
Do NOT compose your photo with grass sticking up your stubject's nose... it isn't flattering at all:
Aaaah... how TO frame your subject... much better :)
My favourite from this location:
Everyone at some point has received a noogie and almost everyone has given one out.
I don't think though, that anyone has ever looked this cute while getting one....
Pacey loves to wrestle. He's just developed his own 'special move'. It's a double karate chop performed while jumping onto his opponent with a half spin. Apparently, it can't be defended either...
This kid... is happiness...
...are so cute and were such fun to work with.
I can post more photos now because Mum has seen them :)
This has to be my favourite image from the session:
How gorgeous is she?
And such a pretty princess...
you'll have no idea what that means if you don't know anything about wrestling.
The Game - is Triple H.
Hunter Hurst Hemsley
(I probably spelt that wrong)
Triple H is the King of Kings and my ultimate favourite wrestler.
I went NUTS when this guy came out in Sydney, absolutely screaming-stompling-my-feet-waving-my-arms NUTS!
Obviously there was some cloning in the last shot... just had to get rid of the damn ropes.
Charlie Kane Oakenfull
Is it strange that he has a middle name? Sure...
But what do you do when the whole family votes on one name except Daddy and Pacey?
We took a trip on Wednesday afternoon to pick him up. Stopped in to see my Uncle while we were there. I wasn't sure who was more excited... him or the kids.
He's been soooo good so far. He's still very quiet, which I know will change soon.
All of these are larger then usual so click to see them bigger. Hey! He's so cute, how can you resist?
I also want to be very clear that we did NOT get Charlie to replace Jack. We all still miss Jack very much and we'll never forget him. We have been talking about getting a bigger dog for about 6 months now. We almost didn't, because we didn't want the children to think that pets are replacable... but the timing was such that we couldn't pass it up.
What's better then spending time with a gorgeous family, capturing some memories and then swinging past McDs when it's all finished to grab 2 sundaes for some great models???
I still have a few photos left to proof but I couldn't resist posting the next 3...
Seriously, could they be any cuter?
This little cutie and I spent some time together for a mini session a little while ago.
He likes jellybeans... I like jellybeans... it's aaall good :)
Here's a few of my faves...
and this is his reaction to my attempt at playing peek-a-boo from behind the camera... classic.
from this session. I realised that I hadn't posted more from this session yet so I thought I'd do a quick catch up.
A time for secrets...
A time for love...
This is Domanick... and Pacey of course but I'm sure you recognise him.
Years ago, Domanick and Piper were total 'partners in crime'. They are 3 months apart in age. They would do insanely naughty things when they were together that neither of them did when they were apart. They were the best of friends. They've grown apart though, which is sad. She's a little too girly for him and he's a little to independant for her (meaning she can't boss him around the way she used to).
The bonus though... is that Pacey and Domanick are growing closer. They're almost 2 years apart in age and Pacey totally looks up to him. He has a big brother of course... and he and Bailey get along really well... it's just that, well... Pacey is such a typical boy. And Domanick is soooooo much the typical boy.
This photo is crazy with the stamping ink all over Pacey's face and it has a snapshot feel... but that. is. ok. I forget to take snapshots a lot now. I'm so glad I captured this...
I primarily shoot children but lately I've had the opportunity of shooting adults. And not just any old adults... but adults in love.
I love my sister. She is a fantastic person. If you are ever in need, she would give you the clothes off her back and the food out of her mouth (ew).
He's not too bad either. My children adore him. Actually, he's Piper's most favourite person in the whole wide world, except for her daddy of course. I do think that the fact that he's over 6ft tall which makes him like a human show/fair ride doesn't hurt.
The biggest thing I admire about these two... is their deep friendship. They were friends before they were in love and it trully is the core of their relationship.
So little sister... I hope you like these.
I love you.
