the whiteheads are such an amazing family…two wonderful parents and 5 beautiful children! we had so much fun on our shoot last year and even more fun this year. this family is just great! we took the shots at nc state arboretum where the kids ran around and had a great time. it was crazy to see how much the kids had grown in just one year!

the light was so nice because we shot in late afternoon…it went back and forth between cloudy and occasional warm rays of sun. it gave us a lot of nice summery-type light.

this little girl is amazing! she was very opposed to getting her picture taken last year, then she came back this year and started requesting poses and backgrounds! it was hilarious…not only is she adorable, but we have the same name! ;)

this little tot had a photoshoot all to himself due to the one-year-old-ants-in-the-pants-syndrome that caused him to be absent from some of the shots with his older sisters. :) but he sure knows how to work it for the camera when he sits for a while! look at those blue eyes!

great great family….thanks, guys!

day 51/365

shot an awesome wedding this weekend at duke gardens…passed out later that night only to wake up on sunday to go into the office w/ geoff all day to fix the MLB scores in time for opening day. in short, totally neglected the 365 this weekend. obviously i’m a terrible example for a daily blog. but here i am! back on track (until full-on wedding season starts and i have a few more days like this). :)

and while i know this shot isn’t from today, i have to use it…

geoff “assisting” at the hair salon. :) *note: geoff does actually assist! just…not really at the salon. ;) this salon, wavelengths in durham, is SO COOL.
