HER MOM: “I just want you to know that I have 27 chigger bites! Yes, I counted! Kendra has like 5 and a small patch of poison. I sure hope the pics in the weeds turn out! LOL”.

ME: “I came straight home, got naked in my garage and went straight to the shower to scrub my legs. I even had my Mom (who doesn’t get poison) wipe my shoes down with alcohol just in case there was oil on them! And you know what?!?!? I STILL have some poison bumps! Oh, and I watched them as they uploaded… they are totally going to be soooo worth it”.

I knew I could risk being cocky when my subject looks like Kendra!  I would like to put this disclaimer out there… I did warn Kendra before I sat her down in the three foot weeds that chigger bites were a possibility.  So glad she’s a girl who has her priorities straight. :)

1.  The family in this shoot are friends of mine.

2.  Erica (Mom) came straight from work… same clothes, same hair, same everything.

3.  Only “planning” put in to their clothes was Averi’s purple shirt.  She is a little girl you know.  She brought three out for me to pick from.

4. Laughter.  All the kids were running around like wild animals laughing and having a great time.  No one was being scolded, no one was told to “look at the camera and smile”.

5.  TRUST.  Compete TOTAL trust in me to do the job I was hired for.

With that being said… check back tomorrow for a blog post all about #5.  On to the images…

Sweet Caroline…

and her sidekick Briley…

The girls were sooooo good.  We took off just the three of us on a little “adventure” and what do you know?  Every time I told them to do something, THEY DID IT!  Is that how it’s supposed to work?  Apparently my kids never got that memo.  If that’s the difference between girls and boys, I got hosed.

After our super model adventure, we decided to meet back up with their booking agents (aka MOMS) and force them into a little photo fun.

Great day.    Great people.    Great life.    I LOVE IT.

What an exciting time in life… and what an honor that she selected me to document it for her!
