Aime' Photography

And just one more because I cannot post without a silly one and she does it so well………..

This is the granddaughter of my mom’s BFF. My mom and her grandma have been friends since the beginning of time and we just know all of them as family. We have photo’s of her mom with my sister when they were just tiny. Crazy as it is, I had never met Breanna. At certain times of the session I had to do a double take because she reminds me so much of her mom. She is so incredibly sweet! When we started the session she apologized saying that she was not very photogenic. Ummmm….really? She also has a love of old things which automatically makes her my BFF. We were able to take out some of my grandma’s vintage clothes which I was grateful to finally get to photograph. As we were taking the photos, I could just hear Grandma Deri saying, “You want to do what with my clothes,” in her cute shreaky voice. And then followed up with one of my favorite laughs ever. I left the session smiling. Thanks for the fun afternoon.

Everything went perfect during this session except that Kendell and I forgot to share some guacomole and chips afterward. Kendell is my old neighbor and shares my love of that beautiful green stuff. She not only knows good food but is incredibly talented! Her kids were a riot! (oh my goodness, I sound just like my grandma). I love that they love each other. You can tell they have got that brotherly sisterly love going on and that makes my heart sing because I know about that love. Thanks for the great session and for the beautiful images that were so fun to edit. Enjoy!

Some of my favorite images are those I get when doing a meter reading. I love how her soul comes through on this black and white!

Ahhh….dancin' is the best!

Grand Cayman was a whirlwind. Remember in my last post how I mentioned we were the unorganized family…..I should have been more specific. I am the unorganized member of the family. My husband actually is totally on top of things, thank goodness, or my life would be in shambles.

I had this dream of having a large family photo on our wall at home of us on the beach. I went and purchased the outfits before the cruise, talked my sister-in-law into taking it while we were there, went on and on to my family on how important this is and even though they are going to want to jump in the water right when we get there, that this was really important to mom yada yada and would only take a few minutes. The morning of, I got all the kids and husband ready and all geared up to go. We hopped on the taxi and headed out. The beach was amazing and wasn’t that crowed when we arrived. After hauling all the kids across the sand threatening them to not get dirty, we arrived to the perfect spot only to find out that I didn’t have my camera. No, no folks, I mean I left my camera on the taxi. Not a great thing to happen with a really nice camera and lots of tourists. My husband patiently (he has become accustom to this sort of thing) headed out to track it down. He came back and hour and half later which by this time the kids were way out of their photo clothes and sopping wet. Bless his soul! Needless to say that dreamy family beach photo is not going on the wall this year. I did however get some photos I will cherish of them being heaven playing on the beach. It was beautiful!

This session WAS A HOOT! For those of you who wine about having little boys that do not like their photo taken no need to fear…..THEY GET WORSE THE OLDER THEY GET. I had to pull out all the bossy in me (my husband would say that is not that hard for me to do) and order them around. I kind of felt bad when I left but not really because I knew their mom, whom I love, really REALLY loves her kids and had to work some serious magic to even get them there. They have got a great looking family and just check out all those blue eyes and dark hair. Seriously!!!. Anyways I had a blast as usual and was thankful to have Chelsea and the two daughter-in-laws there to balance out all that “I hate photo day” stuff. The last shot made it all worth it! Hope you all enjoy!
