A New Location

So I spend some time finding new locations, so that when someone ask me where should we get some pictures done at, I will have some ideas in the city their interested in.  So a few weeks ago, me and my daughter went scouting a new location I found.  Alisha is a senior, so she is more then happy to model for me.  She gets more senior pictures, and I get to see how the location will look in a picture.  I have to say we found a good mix of everything in this new location.  You will just have to contact me if your interested in pictures and I'll tell you where this location is!!!  It does make for a great spot for senior pictures, and we hit all of these areas in less then 2 hours.  Here are a few of the best pictures of the day!

Batteling the Rain!

This was a great photo shoot, but we had a challenge with the weather.  It was raining all day, but about an hour before the photo shoot it stopped.  It was just enough time for things to dry up some.  We met at a park and luckily all three boys were as happy as could be.  It was a little chilly but we kept moving snapping pictures as fast as we could.  We were about 25 minutes into the photo shoot and it started sprinkling.  I thought to myself no big deal, we will do a few photos under the trees, as we were standing there talking about what we were going to do, it started downpoaring.  I guess the photo shoot was done at that point, or at least at the park.  My house was pretty close so we headed there, and of course it wasn't raining there.  We finished up the shoot with some cute shots of the kids.   I had a few more I wanted with mom and dad with the baby but at that point the baby had enough.  These boys are just so adorable, and I had a ton of fun in this photo shoot!

The Hoover Family!

This photo shoot was a lot of fun, but we did run into a few snags.  Luckily I have been learning to go with the flow, because if I don't I risk not getting the shots that I need for the families.  The place that we had planned to do this families pictures was closed when we got there, even though I and the family checked the website before planning it.  So we decided to head to the park, and try to capture some moments, but what we got instead was this.

The poor little guy didn't get much of a nap so he just wasn't going to have much of the park.  We shot some pictures for awhile which are below, and I think we grabbed a few good ones, inspite of the lack of sleep for the little guy.  I then suggested that maybe he would be more comfortable at home, so we headed back to where we started, and wow I'm glad we did because I think we really captured who this family is.

When we got back to their house, the little guy did seem more relaxed.  Infact we gave him this tractor to play with and then he didn't want anything but that, so we got a lot of pictures of him playing with it.  Later we tricked him to get the tractor back, so we could get him to do other things. 

One benefit of doing pictures at someone's home is that we can add the pets.  They can make for some great pictures!

Nothing is better then some pictures of a dad playing basketball with his son, and then topping it off with some wrestling in the grass!!!!

All in all it was a great photo shoot.  We had a few challenges, but that is normal when it comes to one year olds.  I feel I captured this family within this photo shoot, and hopefully it will be pictures that they will enjoy for years to come.  Thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you guys.  I had a great time!
