I have to admit, we had alot of fun this morning. I’m not sure the other garden visitors can say the same (namely the poor woman trying to have a relaxing read in the same area we were in!) but from where I stand, a little chaos was well worth it. We have lots of gorgeous shots mom!
It’s not often that I get to hang out one on one with a cool guy for a session, and this wonderful age can often get skipped when you’re planning out sessions over childhood. But I absolutely love this age! Just before the baby teeth are gone and the chubby cheeks thin out to to show their big kid face. Just absolutely honest smiles and genuine fun. I love it!
We had so much fun this morning running around Duke Gardens and the weather cooperated (despite looking a little iffy for a while there!). Coming from a family of three with two brothers I got such a kick out of their dynamics. I loved how the littlest one of all was a total clown and could get his big siblings cracking up. Just a sweet, sweet crew!
This blog has been full of babies and full of girls (which is funny because last year was FULL of boy babies!) so I thought we needed a manly blog post next. This little one has just exploded since the last time I saw him. Full of confidence and words, he’s not the shy little baby he was!
It’s azalea season in North Carolina! We spent the morning at WRAL property dodging many (many!) others touring the gorgeous garden. These sweet girls were a blast to work with and were patient with us as we worked around crowds and mid day sun. But the flowers were blooming and the day was just gorgeous!
If I ever get too confident in my skills as a photographer (or heck, as a grown up!) I can always count on a tiny little person to come along and put me back in my place. Small, adorable, innocent but this little one ran the show and let me tell you - a photographer was just not something she had planned for that day. She really preferred to explore the garden on her own time without some nutty woman with a camera trying to get in her way. In fact I think she would have preferred to explore the garden on her own time without some nutty woman with a camera anywhere in the PARK with her :-p But for every bit she did not want to be in pictures her sister was happy to pick up the slack and in the end we were in hysterics the entire time. I can’t wait to share the great shots right along with the outtakes with you Mom!
The 2010 spring mini sessions were a big success! Other than some nasty viruses going around that kept a few sweet babies home we had a gorgeous day and lots of happy smiling faces. Thank you so much to everyone that came out!
