Sam's Session

I find that the eyes evoke more expression than a smile. Not only are Sam's eyes big, hazel and beautiful, but they tell so much about her. She is a very rambunctious and tomboyish girl. She could hang with the dudes in a foot race, and actually beat them. Sam is also very caring and sensitive to other's needs-she would rescue a stray dog in a heart beat if she found one wandering the streets. I saw both sides of her when I took her to an indoor skate park to photograph her session.
My daughters tagged along during this session. They think Sam is so much fun. Once we were at the park, I gave Sam a deal-ten minutes to play then 5 minutes to shoot-DEAL!! Boy did she play. It was rough getting started. The girls had to overcome their fear of the ramps. My daughters took some pretty hard spills, but Sam was right there at their side to ask them if they were alright and to give them a hand up. What a sweet, caring child Sam is.

Katie's Session

Vibrant, joyful, and animated are the characteristics that describe Katie. The photo session I had with her just confirmed to me why I love taking pictures. It's all about the people. We had so much fun. However, the absolute fun happened after all the photographs were taken. Katie, my daughter Sophia(my little assistant) and I had a girl's night out. We went out to dinner and ordered Shirley Temples, ate spicy hot wings, and chit-chatted about the silliest things. Did you know that honey suckles have thorns, and it really hurts if they get stuck in your nose!?! Enough said. Here is the beautiful Katie.
