Rock the Frock

Had the best time with Kirsten, photographing all her many looks, fun and fabulous, with a carload of prom dresses, the assistance of her mom and a lot of high energy at Cunningham Falls State Park.
I've been wanting to offer a special "Rock the Frock" session for girls, who may only wear their prom dress once, to take it out on location and really highlight the dress and the beauty and spirit of the girl in it. Kirsten was the perfect start! She had a sense of adventure, so she was up for anything, including crawling around on rocks and tree stumps and running through the water. She had a real flair for posing, saying it was from watching all those Top Model shows. And I think we captured the beauty she has without and within. Thanks Kirsten!

Carlyle and Elijah

We had a second day of fall family shooting, this time in Cunningham Falls State Park manor area. I love this park! It has beautiful foliage, a picturesque stream running through it with plenty of big rocks for posing on and the best yet, a tire park! The entire playground area is made with recycled tires. I've taken my son there many times and we have a blast! So, when the formal posing is over, it's fun to run around the park and photograph kids being kids.

This was my first year to photography Carlyle and Elijah and their mom, Diane. These boys lit up the world when they smiled, trouble is, they rarely smiled at the same time! Last year, Diane tried having a friend photograph the family for their Chrismas card with little success. So, it was time to call in a professional! I had lots of help from their family friends who coached from the sidelines and held my secret weapon, the singing chicken! It gets a smile from most kids.

With a little sweat and a lot of running around, we had success!
