You guys may remember my cousin Kelly’s family from the last time I photographed them? We did their session in Mississippi last year, but this time we decided to head to some rustic areas in City Park. I’ve been trying to get some inspiration lately for my shoots – whether it be from antique shops, magazines, or my new favorite obsession Pinterest.com! New poses, new props, new locations – whatever I can find that’ll push me to be a better photographer. I’ve noticed my style of editing and shooting has changed a bit over the past year and I’m happy with the direction I am going in. Being a photographer, I am faced with constantly having to motivate and push myself. When clients are along for the ride – it helps a great deal! :)
Weeks before our shoot, I was emailing my cousin Kelly ideas on color schemes and outfits. She then later did her shopping and texted me photos of things she was finding. I’m always happy to help! She did a wonderful job pairing outfits for her crew! While editing these, I just kept thinking how big her kids have gotten! They aren’t little babies anymore! They have personalities, smiles and laughs that light up a room. A couple of times they would give me these serious faces and it was adorable. Although very different, you can tell from Ben and Madeline’s expressions how much they look alike!
Thanks again Kris, Kelly, Ben and Mads for having me photograph this time in your life. Each year is a new chapter, each year your love grows for each other! Love you all!
