Rosenbaum Girls

This is the other shoot that I attribute to the mother. Melissa had heard about how much better kids usually do in the shoot when their parents aren't right there, and she took it to heart. She decked the girls out in adorable outfits, and then stolled around the park whilst we got some great smiles! It was *awesome!* The girls are so beautiful and so funny. They each have their own personalities, that's for sure. We had a really great time. After the main part of the shoot we drew with chalk and got some fun pictures of the girls playing.The littlest one was pooped by this time, and when we handed out chalk she laid down on the pavement to draw circles.
(do you SEE what I mean about their own personalities?!)

The Norris Family

There were two shoots this week that I can attribute the success of to the mothers. This is one of them. Tiffany was so wonderful through every step of this. We had to do a reshoot because of some technical difficulties and she was very accomodating and relaxed. She was also very flexible about traveling to the best spots, and very prepared with her son's outfits, toys, etc. Her stress-free attitude helped keep her little guy happy, too. Ok, even though these are in the collage I had to make them bigger here so you can see them. I know that you won't believe this (because if I saw it someplace else, I wouldn't), but *I did NOT Photoshop this kid's eyes!* True story! I darkened the whole picture a little but that was it. His eyes are seriously amazing. Look out, little girls! He's going to be a heartbreaker! I call this one "Oh, Hello, Mr. Dog..." She had him laughing so hard...
This is my favorite, and I can't decide if I like the regular color or the cross-processed... ...Cross-processed.

Trent's Seniors

He didn't want to do it... but I'm glad he did! It was fun for me, anyway! :) I tried to make it painless. Trenton is a witty LaCrosse player- and expert tiler, if anyone wants a kitchen redone.

We almost didn't get to do the shoot with all the rain that day, but it slowed down just long enough for us to get some good pictures before it rained again.
