when  I got the call from my cousin to do his senior pics (and NO WAY can he be a senior)….and even more exciting was that I got to go to a high school I haven’t taken pics at before.  Of course, when doing his football ones, we learned the hard way that there are MANY other sports that use the field.  I don’t think I”ve ever seen a football field, outside of a game, be so busy.  And he also learned that when I say RUN…that means run…..we heard a train coming and ended up with an awesome shot.

Isn’t she the cutest thing???  I’m not sure what is up with my one year olds here recently, but we have had to really work for our smiles.  But between mom and grandpa, she started to ham it up.

So this little guy has changed SO much since his newborn pictures 3 months ago….its totally amazing how a short amout of time can make a huge difference.  He was a total sweetheart and was happy the entire shoot.  And now I can’t wait for his 6 months and watch him grow.

You gotta love those 1 year old cake smashes…except for the part where no one wants to eat the cake by the time he was done with it.  And even with a yummy cake in front of him, we couldn’t get him to crack a smile…UNTIL the camera was put down.  Then he would grin away.  And then you also get an extra one here…..I call it ” the one where he was just done taking pictures”.  It was too funny NOT to share.

I had the opportunity to take pictures for my cousin.  The first time, he was one of my FIRST sessions for his senior pictures…and this time for his engagement.  They are so much in love and I love having the chance to do this for them.

So the senior 2010 season is off to a great start so far, and this one came from a little ways away, but it was great to meet both him and his mom.  He has an amazing future ahead of him and I can’t wait to hear what his final college decision is for next year.  His mom and I did have to keep hamming it up to get the “real” smiles out of him, but we had a great time and lots of laughs.

I’m so excited for this years crop of senior’s…..I’ve forgotten how much fun they are to shoot (especially when I don’t have to chase after them…too often anyway).   Plus  I love getting a little time to just talk to these kids and hear about what they all have planned for their future.  This one I have had the pleasure of working at the bank with for the last year, so I knew his personality and had a plan in place for his pictures.

So this family was all smiles on this beautiful Saturday wedding.  We ended up with wonderful weather and it ended up being a perfect day.  I had a blast with this wedding party, they were young, ready to have fun and a total blast to pick on (especially the grooms brother, poor kid).   

I have several to show you, but first a story to go along with the first picture.  We were about 5 minutes or so before the wedding, just hanging out while all the guests were seated.  And there was a buzzing sound right when the bride was putting her phone away…it was her ALARM that she set way back when they first got engaged last year (I’m thinking thats when she set it, I never really did ask  I just assumed ~ maybe she will come on here and let me know for sure) but the SMILE on her face when it went off….that I will never forget.  And I was so excited when I realized I got the shot of that smile.

came to the studio for her 2 year pictures and she was calm and ready ….for the first 7 minutes……and then the chase was on.   But I don’t think this little one could take a bad picture and I can’t wait for her mom and dad to see these.
