Kaya

I'm so fortunate to be able to photograph Kaya and her sister Aubrey every year for their birthday. Last year's session with Kaya was so amazing I didn't think we could get photos as good this year. But she did it! She picked out her own outfit which was very fashionable and spring like but it was windy and cold and she smiled anyway! An ice cream at Nutter's was the payoff for great photo session. Thanks Kaya for being such a trooper! And thank you Aubrey for being a good tag-a-long.

Kaya is Six!

I had a really fun!! photo session with Kaya in honor of her birthday.
Knowing it would be cold, her Mom and I discussed outfit options and location that would make a successful shoot. Her outfit was amazing but most important, it was warm, I felt like we were having a mini fashion shoot!
Earlier in the year, I had photographed her sister near Loy's Station covered bridge, using the natural landscape and water to create images that evoked her sister's personality. Knowing we wouldn't have any natural flora, we decided to go urban with Kaya's photos. And there is no better place than downtown Frederick. Not only did about two city blocks provide an ample variety of backgrounds, but constantly moving kept Kaya from getting bored and kept the smiles coming. We were so excited to find some jazzy purple doors ( Kaya's favorite color). We played peek-a-boo, "honked" her braids and invented little games to keep her smiling. She did a fantastic job.
