{Senior 2012} Kayla

The morning of Kayla's photos was quite a disappointment...gloomy, dark, RAINY!!!  I know what your thinking....GROOOOSSSS! We really wanted to get her photos done that day and the rain had died down to a mist at most times...so we decided...why the hell not!  I grabbed a clear umbrella and we forged the weather.  We were lucky enough to find some spots to cover her also so we could have some without the umbrella! We got some awesome fun shots and had a good time doing them.  Mother Nature take that!!! ha ha

{Amy & Jackson}

It is always a great day when I get to photograph these two!  Jackson is definitely a little spitfire!  He let us know when he was done and it was quite clear! lol  We got some great images and I couldn't be happier! Isn't he just the cutest thing?!

Little Miss Emery!

This little miss was definitely a handful!  She never stops moving! I am pretty sure all of the shots that I did get were "CLICK> she's gone".  Even with her constant going and going we managed to get some pretty darling shots!  Her smile is just infectious.  Our next session should be pretty interesting...she has a baby sister on the way(ANY TIME NOW)...so Emery + 1 is definitely going to make me work for my $$. 

Sami {Senior 2012}

Sami and I had a great time shooting at Wild Cat Den in Muscatine.  My original goal was to shoot in the caves, but due to not being able to find them we stuck with this area! I AM SO HAPPY WE DID!!!!  Even after some almost falls, stubbed toes, pointy rock, tiny little frogs and a mysterious animal skeleton in the water( IT HAD PINCHER CLAWS!!!!) I think we got some AWESOME shots!!!

Jackson

So this little guy and I have a very special relationship and that is that I just LOVE him to pieces. I mean who couldn't!? He is the son of a friend and coworker of mine and one of my favorite little people to photograph. These were done in downtown Rock Island. We loved the concept of photographing a toddler in an urban setting...putting a little bit of a twist on the typical childrens portrait. I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as his mother and I do!
