don’t mess with the system!

… a little inside joke from our session! I’m sworn to secrecy. It should seriously be illegal to have so much fun on the job. Susan, you are so hilarious, I love your sense of humor!  Nana and Papa were in town so Susan capitalized on their visit and made it easy by choosing her beautiful home as the backdrop.

Again, the heat this week was just about too much. But they did a great job – getting cozy – peeling themselves off of each other after each little grouping. Crazy photographer has no regard for sticky skin – all for the sake of an adorable picture!I think they’ll agree it was worth it all!!

Early in the session, Susan’s dad found a rose from somewhere and had a little idea of his own for a picture with his sweetheart. How cute?! I followed his lead on this one.

Look who snuck in … sneaky Annie.

Not everyone ‘gets’ the whole love affair with intentional sun flare in photography… but … I happen to have a love affair with sun flare – whenever I get a chance to play with it … I’ll take it. It’s tricky … and hard to control and sometimes it lands on faces … which is a bummer … but when it doesn’t and I get something like this – I get so happy.

And this is what you get when you ask the kids what they want to do for one last picture before the session is over … almost always … total silliness!

So much fun Susan! Thank you!!!
