Vintage Lemonade Stand

At the beginning of the summer we held a couple of days of mini sessions...vintage lemonade stand style.  I have to admit, they were my favorite batch of mini sessions yet.  The kiddos all came, played, laughed and some of them even ate. Because I fear it would be a bit overwhelming for you (okay, okay overwhelming for me) if I posted all of the pictures at once, I'll be posting several of the sessions over the next little while. First up..little miss Sunnie!

And speaking of mini sessions, stay tuned, I will be posting the dates for some fun Fall and Halloween ones soon!

My girl

The thing is, I don't take nearly enough pictures of my own kids. Which is shameful considering I first got into photography so I could document more of their little lives. The other day I was reading the amazing Nichole V's blog and I laughed out loud when she mentioned she is usually the only one without a camera at family events. That is me. But, I've vowed to do better. A few months ago, armed with my new goal, I followed my oldest out into our "yard" to capture her in her element and document this stage in her life.  I stalked her as she wandered one her favorite paths with my camera in hand.  The result?  Pictures I will cherish for the rest of my life.

The {H} Family

It was 124 degrees on the afternoon of this shoot. Joking. But man, was it toasty! We still had a lot of fun, though.  What an amazing little family!
