What a fun shoot! Kaitlyn is the granddaughter of a very close friend of mine, Mimi. A few years ago, when Mimi’s oldest grandson turned 5, she decided to begin a tradition. She had his pictures taken in his great-grandfather’s hat and tie, and then put them away for the next grandson. Kaitlyn is wearing her great-grandmother’s engagement dress, hats, and jewelry. The bear and the book were her great-grandfather’s. These heirlooms are now tucked away for the next granddaughter. Kaitlyn did not know me at all and was a tad shy at first. After we got acquainted a bit, Mimi and Mom disappeared upstairs. Then the magic began! As you can see in the images, Kaitlyn is a pro! She had so much fun trying each hat and getting into the poses.
I love photographing families year after year and being able to watch the kiddos grow and develop. I first photographed this family when Gavin was six months old, and he is now six years old. Gavin has always been a poser and so cooperative for pics; Brylee has been the feisty one and a bit difficult, and if this shoot was any indication, Sawyer will be laid back and easy.

I have photographed parts of this sweet family 3 times in the last 3 months; once for Leo, once with cousins, and now with the whole family. I cannot remember ever having a more cooperative 7 month old for family pics. Leo sat still and looked at me for almost all of the family pics. Unfortunately, he was getting out of the mood when we started his individual ones, but I think they are pretty cute.

Elizabeth is the second of my former students that I had the privilege of photographing this week. My relationship with Elizabeth goes back to her toddler days, but I will refrain from nostalgic stories. The pics at the barn carry special importance for Elizabeth as the barn belonged to her great-grandfather, and Elizabeth lived on that property when she was little.

This week I photographed two of my former students. They were both in fifth grade then; now both aspire to be chemists. Better them than me. The weather did not cooperate for Lorissa’s shoot. We managed to get about 3 shots at Shaw’s Nature Reserve before the rain started. Fortunately, we were able to get a few more outdoor shots at the studio.
