These have been a long time in coming, but better late than never, right? At the end of summer I was watching Brooke’s kiddos and got the bright idea of sneaking my camera into her house and capturing pics of her kids. The plan was to frame a few up for her in time for Christmas. Well, it’s now almost 6 months later, it’s 2 a.m. and I’ve only just edited a few. Sorry Simon, the little lady beat you out in the pretty department…you’ll be featured next, I promise! The reason I love these pics of Miss Isla is that the look so airy, romantic and carefree. And SO not how the session went. Whoa. It was a toughie. I dressed her up, stripped down Brooke’s bed and accessorized it with bits from around the house in order to look more “girlie”. I had also prepared for the worst….my pockets were full of lollipops, jewellery and mini marshmallows ( they are perfect bribery as they don’t make a mess and you can hardly see them…..look closely)! It took a lot of me dancing around like a fool, hooting and hollering at the top of my lungs, but guess what?! The Miss and I worked things out ( I think she sensed I was desperate)! and I seriously think these may be my new faves of her ( no offense B, they are just So Girly)!
And the reason I decided to get my butt in gear and post these?! Brooke was kind enough to drag her kids over to my place and help me get a logo done this afternoon. Not only is my name not anywhere to be found on my blog, I don’t even have business cards with the proper info….and we’re going to be at WPPI soon. I NEEDED to get it together! A month of me going back and forth trying to figure it out, and she puts something together I’m crazy about in 2 hours. For real?! I knew there was a reason I kept you around !! It feels so ME….I really am drawn to anything girly and pink; can’t help myself. Don’t be fooled, though…..a fellow photog ( thank you, Rebecca) I met not too long ago said to me, ” Wow, I totally thought you’d be different after reading your blog.” I said, ” Really? How’d you think I’d be?” She said….” Elegant and sophisticated.” I said…..well, I don’t think I said anything because I was laughing too hard! I’m definitely NOT elegant or sophisticated although I like the look of things that are. That’s allowed, right?! So, these photos are a little thank-you to Brooke for being fab and helping me get my s*@# together…..I know you’re probably going to yell at me for posting it when you’re still playing, but I just couldn’t help it.
Love!
Now for the Miss…….really, could she be any more beautiful? I think not!
Can you see the marshmallows? I’d stuck them in between her toes to gain a few extra seconds of her being still…..worked like a charm!
No words. I have a feeling Mama may tear up from this one. Gorgeous little lady.
And Brooke, if you ever want to get rid of those pillows you know when my birthday is! Anyone reading this who sees those floral beauties at Winners…..I will give out a free session in return for them. I don’t joke around when it comes to pillows.
