Elizabeth | Senior 2012

I had so much fun working with Elizabeth on her Senior Portraits!  Her older sister, Shannon, contacted me a few weeks before Easter weekend to ask me if I was available to take Elizabeth's senior pictures.  She was visiting from Mississippi and didn't want the same old studio portrait pictures.  I have worked with Shannon before, so I was super excited to hear from her again.  (I have taken pictures for Shannon's daughter 2 years in a row.... going on three this year!!).  Of course I said yes!  Elizabeth wanted a little more urban look to her pictures and I took her to the canal walk.  Shannon and their mom we so funny making sure that Elizabeth was channeling her inner Tyra, and she did just that...

We did a quick outfit change... in the alley hehe (they had a portable dressing room!), then headed down to the canal.

These next bunch are my favorite! Elizabeth is so gorgeous and the lighting was perfection!!

We ended our session at the train tracks.  

Work it girl!

=)

Have fun at your Graduation Elizabeth.  And Congrats!!

Zoo Adventures!

Last weekend Mady and I decided to take the afternoon and visit the zoo!  It was a little warm, and we had to hide from the rain once, or twice but we had a blast looking at all the fun animals at the Richmond Metro Zoo!  Mady was super excited to go on our animal adventure...

When we got there we sat to have a quick snack and plan out which animals we would see first.

Here are some of the fun animals we saw...

I'm sorry... but this is just cruel haha

Then we stopped for a little break before feeding the Giraffe.

Of course it decided to down pour so we hung out with the giraffe... even the peacock hung with us to get out of the rain.

Once the sun peaked back through the clouds we headed to the aviary to play with the birds. 

We ended our trip with a few more animals...

Mady and I had such a fun afternoon!  I can't wait until our next adventure...

=)

Oh Spring...

how I love you... and the gorgeous weather you are providing us!

Here are a few shots of my daughter and  our neighbor playing this afternoon

Hope everyone enjoyed this wonderful weekend. 

Mady's goofy smile!

Beautiful Afternoon with my Girl

March 1st.... can you believe it?!  Thank you March for starting off with some pretty awesome weather =)

On the down side... my little munchkin was not feeling well today!  I got to stay home with her and enjoy the sunshine after a doctor's appointment (which revealed that she has really bad allergies!).  We sat on the back porch for a picnic lunch and I was able to capture her feeling a little better than she had this morning!

There's a little smile!

My little princess, always has a bow in her hair.... even when she's not feeling her best!

She was thinking about the Dora snack I promised her if she finished her lunch and took some pictures with mommy!

I love this kids eyelashes... wish mine were this long.

Then came the silly pictures with mommy!  These were very hard to take with my DSLR (and having short arms didn't help either!) but I still love them!!

Hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy this perfect day!  Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow...

Happy March 1st 

=)
