I have to share photos from my session last week with Natalie!  She is the cutest little girl in the world.  At first she was shy and did her own thing so taking photos was more challenging but about 30 minutes singing from her mom was just what she needed.  Believe me I had a mini workout in after this session because I was running around chasing Natalie everywhere getting photos, she was on the move!  

When we put the white chair in the orchard and her mom starting singing to her...we had a smiley and happy little girl.  After that she was still on the move but I was able to capture some sweet moments between mother and daughter! 

Hello everyone!  I am excited to share this post with everyone! The first reason simply is because I had a great time photographing Angelina.  The second reason is because I also was able to create a short video of our session! Angelina was so great, fun and full of poses ready for our session!  Below is the Behind The Scenes Video from yesterday's session with Angelina.  I hope you all enjoy! 

A little back story...Angelina and I actually met a few years ago through the Challanger League in Manteca! The Challenger League is a non competitive sports league for children with mild to severe disabilities.  The Challenger League is mostly about having fun but also learning new skills, being active and making long life friends. I have had a huge smile on my face since the day I met her because of her contagious laugh, sassy attitude, honesty, happiness and love!  Angelina is a teenager who speaks her mind and knows what she wants!  I know you are going to do something big one day!  Thank you for being your energetic and funny self :) 

Here are some of the photos from our session, enjoy! 

Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph two beautiful horses in a orchard field. I have photographed animals (mostly dogs) before so photographing horses was definitely something different but I was ready and excited for the new experience. 

At first it took a while to round the horses up (they kept galloping away) so that we were able to actually go into the orchards and start photographing.  My fantasy dream was to have the horses free (what was I thinking) in the orchard, but I soon realized that was not going to happen.  We did one horse at a time and then we tried and brought both of them out.  The horses were great...the tricky part for me was to try and make sure to get the horses ears facing forward.  Life is not perfect but I think I got a good amount of photos with there ears facing forward.  I was throwing the can of corn and the empty can in the air which worked only a few times.  I then discovered that moving my feet on the ground back and forth fast and clicking my boots together was enough noise for them to move their ears also.  It took some work but the horses were so beautiful and did such a great job! I hope you enjoy some of the photographs from our photoshoot :)
