A Beautiful Family

This is Patti and her three girls. Hubby was at work. She contacted me on Face Book and asked me to do some photos of her girls. I don't want to give their names out as I have not gotten permission from Patti. I can say these girls are the most beautiful girls. I mean that both inwardly and outwardly. I could feel the great love they all had for one another. The littlest one was a hoot! The other two older girls were so sweet and great to work with. I hope to do more photos with this precious family. God is good!

Come back again...you can never tell...maybe you'll be the next one hearing..."Smile" you're on Dawna's camera!

Fun At The Beach With My Two Nieces And Nephew...Oh and Chloe Their Dog.

In the picture above from left to right, my niece, Olivia, my nephew, Gavin and my niece Alexis. I love the way the sun peeked through the branches and danced on their faces. It made them look like they were in some mysterious forest.

These photos were taken at the beach in Kennebunk only a few hundred yards from President Bush's summer home. We were in the trees, on the walls, on the rocks...anywhere we thought would make a great back ground we were there! I had a blast with them...I hope we can do it again soon! Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did snapping them!

Alexis..on the wall. She is so pretty!

We saw this cool ,Stone, church with huge, stone, window cut outs...I thought I could seat the kids on the wide sills and snap a picture...but the gate was locked...so Gavin thought the fence looked like a cool place and posed next to it...it was actually a nice shot!

Olivia decided to sit on a large rock and pose away from the fence...this too made for a nice shot!

We saw this bench over looking the water and said, hey...lets shoot one here! What can I say...they look great!

Gavin sat by this tree...we had the sun to deal with casting shadows, but a nice shot!

I decided to try something different with the bench shot....cool!

Quick...snap and get them off of me!

This is Chloe making her posing debute! Lol

Chloe and Alexis. So cute!

The Rock shot...everyone has one these days...Lol

Decided to do a few close ups. Isn't he handsome!

Alexis...she is so beautiful!

Olivia and her Award winning smile...very pretty!

I think everyone owns a fence picture...so why not us! Lol I love this shot!

This is my favorite!

Handsome Gavin....he is so tall and cute. Look out girls!

Olivia and that bright white smile! look out boys!

Alexis and Chloe....Alexis is full of wonder and beauty....Chloe, well...what can I say...she's a looker!

I love this shot of Gavin....he has the most amazing blue eyes! He is into sports and is a great kid!

Alexis....she could be a kid model. She is a natural beauty!

Olivia can melt your heart with those eyes and bright smile! Am I a proud aunty of these kids or what! We had a good time and I hope to get together with them again real soon. May a huge pumpkin patch next...what do ya think guys!

My First Twin Photo Shoot...Or Was It An Aerobic Class?

I received an e-mail through face Book from a friend Jody Slaven, asking if I would mind coming to her house to do a photo shoot of her twins who were going to be two in a week or so. I jumped at the chance to get more practice in with my camera. She said she would rather have the shoot at her house because the twins were better in their own surroundings and would probably not cooperate elsewhere. I said no problem...how hard can snapping a few pictures be! I want you to keep in mind as you view the photos below, though I got some pretty good shots...there were literally only seconds to snap them before they were off and running to something else. I was exhausted!

This is Payton, she may look sweet...but she is the embodiment of the "Road Runner" her nick name should be "Beep Beep" because that is how fast this little one can move. I think she sat on this chair for a few seconds!

This is Riley....she was the one that was not sure she wanted me there. But then she started doing all these sweet things....like giving the tree a hug. It lasted for a second!

A quiet moment...quick...snap the picture!

This one also was a quick shot before they were up and moving on to something else! Towel please...there is sweat starting to break through...Lol

I took this shot from outside the little cabin from the side window. I wasn't sure what I got, but I was pleased when I saw it on my computer.....

When I saw Riley going over to the picnic table, I ran over and got down on the ground to take this shot...I can tell you what she was thinking..."Hey lady...don't even think of coming up on my bench!" I didn't !

Smile Payton..."NO"

Ok...maybe I'll crack just a little smile for you!

Time for dinner! Come and get it!

Riley had a thing for flowers....This was certainly a fun and fast photo shoot! I was done in about a half hour.
Now I know how Jody stays so slim! Thanks Jody, your baby girls are just beautiful and I had a blast. Let's do it again sometime!

My Little Friend Tyler!

This is my little friend Tyler. I've known Tyler since he was 8 years old. He is 13 now and is not little anymore! I actually have to look up to him...lol. Tyler has been following my photography on Face Book...I guess you can say he is my first fan. He finally asked me if I would do a photo shoot with him. I said let's go! The picture above is the one he is using on his FB profile. We started this photo shoot with the bright sun (as you will notice in pics below) and ended with the night sky closing in)

I believe this was the first pose...he was a natural at it! I didn't really have to say too much.

This was one of the shots at the Harbor in Wells ME. As you can see, it was getting dark. Doesn't he have cute freakles! Lol...

This was taken at the beach. Ty was climbing up onto the "life gaurd" chair. I said hey! Look down at me...and "Click" Voila!

Ty just chilling out on the rocks above...I really didn't want to climb up there so I took this from below.I actually did climb up afterwards and lost my toe nail polish! UGH!

I took over 100 pics...and there were many good ones....but I just wanted to post a few here about my friend TY!

MY DAY AT THE PORTLAND HEADLIGHT!

Last Saturday Sept. 5th, was the first time ever visiting

the Portland Headlight in Portland ME. What a beautiful

Place. I was shooting pics faster then I could imagine! Lol

This woman and her child look great out there on the cliff so,I decided to take a picture of them and started snapping away! I have many but decided to post just one!
