intoducing macy...macy just turned 4 and is the daughter of my dear friend, tiffany. our girls have been friends since before birth. macy's just so cute and we had fun running to the library for this little mini session. Here are some of my favs:
she's such a lady...
get it? she's 4...ha ha ha...
my personal favorite...
6 years of spanish and i had to look up the proper spelling of this mexican holiday. :) so the girls and i spent a portion of sunday at reno's nevada museum of art. what fun!!! they were celebrating "el dia de los muertos" also know as "the day of the dead". this is a mexican holiday that i didn't know much about except that it fell around halloween. well...now we know it's actually a day where you celebrate family members or friends that have passed on. kinsey, reagan and i took this opportunity to celebrate the life of my grandma lee. she recently passed and we were not able to make it back to florida the funeral. we took this day to honor her.
part of the celebration of this day is painting sugar skulls. the museum had a family event and they provided sugar skulls to all the attendees for painting. we had a blast. here are some of my favorite images from painting...
the finished product...and i even painted one...
after painting, we went through the museum and checked out the art on display and found some cool areas for picture taking. kinsey finally started looking at me when I photograph her but now reagan won't look at me. i guess you win some and lose some....
that's it for now. i've gotta catch up on some work. check back tomorrow. i'll be adding a few images from a client session and maybe some of our visit to the pumpkin patch in fallon, nv.
until next time....
what...you didn't know there was a marathon in hanford? well it's called 13 sessions in almost half as many days. i had a great time and enjoyed every single minute i was down there. i've missed everyone and it was nice to be able to reconnect for a few days.
here's a very small sample of the sessions during our stay:
the week began with my great friend...the b's. ::
up next was a really fun family, the m's. the were such a blast and i enjoyed being crazy with them. ::
the k's are always fun to photograph. i haven't seen their youngest son since his newborn session. he's grown so much. ::
the o family was great. their children had the bluest eyes i've ever seen in my life. they were simply amazing and such great kids too. ::
on to my favorite fairy of all s. she's sooo cute and such a lovely little girl. i can't believe how grown up she looks in some of her images. ::
on to my senior s. she was fabulous! despite the raining weather, we still manage to get a whole session in downtown. she was such a trooper and just looked amazing in all of her images. ::
the j. family had a blast. i didn't have to do anything but point and click. it was so fun sitting there...or in my case...crouching there watching them have so much fun together. ::
on to the most beautiful pregnant person i've seen. geeze...i looked like house...twice and she's just as beautiful as can be. the d. family was great...they even tolerated a gentle pillow fight shortly after this image was taken. ::
finally...my last session. i had a great time with the t family. they ran...a lot...had thumb wars and basically made out for an hour. such troopers. :) but...the pictures are really cute so it was well worth it! ::
well...that's it for now. i'm long over due for a break. i'm taking tomorrow off and enjoying some time with the fam at the pumpkin patch and then i'm taking a nap...i might even sleep through the afternoon and into tuesday. oh wait...i can't do that...i have kids!!!!!
have a great weekend and i'll post more soon.
