The Girls~ continued

Now that the sewing is complete and the bake is cooling~ I can finally attend to posting the rest of the photos from the Girls' photoshoot. It hasn't been a matter of needing time to edit them. It's been a matter of needing time to choose which five to post. I mean, when you take over 200 photos of five beautiful girls, it is REALLY hard to narrow it down. Thank you, girls, for your patience and understanding.

I hope you all enjoy your sneak peeks. The rest of the 200 will be their way to you very soon.

This is Megan~ the graduated Senior turned college girl of the bunch.

All of these girls were/are homeschooled so...let's face it, school pictures aren't yearly for any of these girls but for Megan, especially, as she concludes her highschool education, some pictures were especially in order.

Hope you like!

The youngest of the bunch....

In lieu of Foto Friday this week, I am going to share some takes from a recent photo shoot.

On our trip, I purposed to shoot five girls (with a camera, that is) because....well:

1) They were willing
2) I need the practice
3) Two are seniors
4) Because who can STOP me when I am behind a camera?!?

One "working woman" had to have her photo shoot alone, but the other four all had a fun, energetic photo shoot together which I thought worked out wonderfully. They were all eager to pose, but the others were occupied with chitchat while I worked with my "model" so she never became uncomfortable with stares and silence. It was relaxed, low-key, and the smiles came all the more naturally around friends. PERFECT!

I took A.LOT. of photos and I will spare you all the redundancies (I am going to TRY to limit to five pictures per girl. TRY.) I'll cover them in the course of next week but I thought I would share the two youngest girls today.

Meet Caitlyn:





~ her smile just doesn't stop, so she actually found it challenging to have a more serious face. I personally liked seeing BOTH sides of her.








Meet Megan:






~She is quieter and (dare I say) shy so I was surprised she let me get all in her face with my camera. But she was a great sport. Thanks, Megan!



Look at those eyes! WOWZA!




Megan and Caitlyn are best friends and have been since I've known them.

So I thought it fitting they both share the frame a few times.




The one below is my total favorite though~ because it so perfectly reflects their different personalities.

My niece

Matt was out of town, so I invited my niece to a pj party. Pizza. Popcorn. Movie. Ice cream. and BLINK! and Zigity tournaments.
And before she left, I snapped a few, as is customary.

to boot

Then out pops a sneaking Pip...

I love Corynn's wide-mouthed laugh in this one. Who knew zipping a coat could be so HILARIOUS!?!?
