third try is the charm!


























Just when I thought the Lewis family shoot could not possibly be rained out again... Yep. Thats right. Third time IS the charm! With so much rain this fall it made for totally unpredictable sessions! However, the crisp cool day we finally did end up shooting on was perfect! Sunny with clear blue skies- and what made it even better was the 0% chance of RAIN! The only people who didn't get the memo about family photographs that day were the gang of kids who TP'ed the yard the night before! Mrs. Lewis just laughed as we avoided wide shots that would have been proudly displaying the flowing white paper littering their wooded lot.
Gorgeous home, beautiful yard and a great sense of humor! - Lewis family you are a treat!

Scarlet and Georgie











Scarlet and Georgie are my pals. Four years old and identical twins... My best friends in grade school were twin sisters. They shared everything - their room, their clothes, their homework even their friends. Everything seemed like more fun with a twin. I was so jealous!

This particular sunny day I had the privilege of photographing Scarlet and Georgie. Just like lots of other girls (including me!) they were so excited to have new dresses and coats - NO sharing! From the moment they greeted me on the front porch wearing their matching tiny brown Rocket Dogs until I climbed back in my car at sunset - we played... played to the point of exhaustion! I'm sure the twins mommy and daddy slept well that night... I know i did!
