Meet the teacher

Meet this lovely family.  The mother is my son’s teacher.  She is the kind of teacher that he will remember for a long time, for all the good reasons.  She knows how far he can go, and will push him to get him there while making it fun and with no stress.  So when she asked me to take her family photos, I jumped at the chance and I wanted to make it as special for her and she makes my son’s time at school.

Her son is a little firecracker, red hair, freckles and a cheeky laugh that I adored.  At one point, his hand was covered in splinters.  If it was me, I would have called it a day and left, but he didn’t. He pulled each one out and carried on.  Massive bonus points to him for being a trooper.

The kite that you see in the photo?  if you happen to know the Dad, ask him how long it took for him to make it 🙂

 

D. Family

Rather than sending out Christmas cards, this family of 4 decided to send out Diwali cards.  She just wanted photos of her family looking pretty/handsome in their indian clothes, I wanted a little more than that.  I wanted a photo of her girl holding some diva’s.  She won, I failed 🙁  Her girl wanted none of it!  But it did make for some funny photos, and a lovely Diwali card.


 

 

Senior – East meets West

Meet this stunning senior girl!  Her eyes, her hair, her grace….all of it just beautiful, inside and out. She was absolutely lovely to work with.  Within the first few minutes of being with her, you can tell she has a warm heart, lots of love for her family, and a bright mind.  Good luck at college, you’ll go far young lady!

 

 

 

W. Family

They are back, the quintessential all American family!  Absolutely lovely to be around.  The kids are sweet, happy and kind and I enjoy every minute that I am with them.

 

N. Family

It was raining on the way to this session, but we decided that a little bit of drizzle wasn’t going to stop us.  Which in hindsight was great, as there was no one around and we had the place to ourselves…except for one other photographer who ‘claimed’ the yellow wall after we were done 🙂

It was a fun morning, we walked, Mom and I talked, (maybe a little too much) they played and I shot. Next year they are going to take me on their annual cruise so that I can do a week long session for them….right?
