When this sweet couple contacted me several weeks ago about scheduling an early maternity and couple’s session, I was excited to meet them. I think a maternity session is a wonderful expression of the beauty and miracle of life and a special way to commemorate this unique time in their lives. This gorgeous mom-to-be here was close to 13 weeks pregnant when we did this session and had just a little “bump” of a belly, but it’s only the beginning, and I look forward in the coming months to watch the bump grow!
I had a very special session this morning with two little girls who just happened to be in town during their grandfather’s birthday. What a coincidence, huh? ;) So of course we had to do a few special birthday shots of grandpa with his grand-girlies. Something tells me he is going to have a very memorable birthday this year.

You’ll never guess in a million years where this family is from. I know. I’m very secretive like that.
We had a beautiful morning for this shoot out on a local farm, thanks to the generosity of the Featherston family who let us run amuck and pet every farm animal we could find. Despite the early morning wake-up and the fact that they were functioning on central time, these awesome kiddos were super troopers and willingly let me boss them around all morning without a fuss. Hopefully they immediately went back to bed and caught some more zzz’s after the shoot.
So, without further ado, I bring you this fabulous set of siblings:
Uh. Oh wait. That’s not them. That’s a goat. A goat who REALLY wanted to be in the pictures. Poor goaty.
Okay, NOW here are these beautiful (and handsome) siblings:

Are they not the cutest patooties you’ve ever seen? Hello Freckleville! Love it.

Thanks to the unpredictible mood of Mother Nature, we had to make our own sunshine through the unexpected rain this evening. I think we did pretty well…agree?

That’s what I think of when I look through these photos…joy. Can’t you just see it in their faces? It is so lovely, and I think it’s contagious…

This crew came a long way for a session. And then I made them get up at the crack of dawn for a photo shoot. They love me right now. 
Just a little teaser from tonight. More to come…

So we did this shoot last week on what so far has turned out to be the hottest day of the year. It did not reach 100 degrees, but we got pretty darn close. We had a neighborhood cat that followed us everywhere (Hello 2-year-old distraction!), mosquitoes who thought we were quite tasty, and 97 degrees worth of unrelenting heat and humidity to deal with. If it weren’t for a big, juicy hunk of watermelon waiting for the kids at the end, I think they might have tied me up and pushed me into the gutter. Thank you for saving me, wonderful, fruity goodness.
No matter how hot it was, there was no shortage of awesomeness and personality in this family. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend the evening any other way.
Here you go, Mr. Tiger. I fully expect to be credited when you get your book deal.

Funny how some siblings can be so different from each other, isn’t it?

Guess which one kept me on my toes tonight?
