Love and Hate, but Mostly Love

Amazing family photo session last week. Grammy was even in town to join in the fun! These kids really do love each other, but we had to have some fun and play on the sibling rivalry. 

When I asked them to hold hands in the beginning of the session, they started playing the hand game keep going up to make yours on top, loved the idea so I played on it for the hand photo.  

I love letting my clients help with posing themselves, makes it more fun and natural.

 Also, I love to "steal" ideas to use for future sessions.

Independence Day 2012

Celebrated the 4th of July in Somerville, AL this year with my aunt, uncle, and parents.  Was very nice and not too crowded for a small town celebration.  I did miss my boys though.  Borrowed a tripod from my brother for some firework fun.  I think my firework pictures this year far surpassed the ones I took last year!  Here are some images I took on July 3, 2012 in downtown Somerville. 

 My OFF kept the mosquitos away, but the ants got me getting this shot.  Just one of the hazards of being a photographer.

 This group of kids (all under 17 years) have an amazing talent...  

Don't remember the name of their group.
