country girl- part 2

i had so much fun with this girl and her mom at their family's old farm land...so many hidden treasures and truely a photographer's paradise! i have known carly since she was in the fourth grade...now a gorgeous junior in high school....feeling old! her mom was my mentor teacher during part of my student teaching and we became and have remained true friends. i so cherish our friendship and i love the friendship i am developing with her girls...no longer the teacher/student, but woman to woman, you know! carly is one of three gorgeous girls, in one of the most amazing families you could ever hope to know.

can you tell i like a tight headshot?! got to work on zooming out!

these were just a few of my favorites...i'm sure we'll have a country girl part 3 coming up!

i think if i could choose the one age i would want to photograph for the rest of my life, it would have to be newborns....hands down!

there is something so incredible about a new little person being brought into this world and a new life beginning. it's amazing to be a part of and to capture a baby in the first few days of life is pure magic.

i have only photographed two newborns, my son and a friends daughter. i have a tangled mess of ideas and i have begun knitting a collection of hats, cocoons, and hanging slings so if i get the opportunity to work with a newborn again i will be ready with all sorts of goodies and excitement!

i will be searching for newborn models in the next few months to work with and help build my portfolio...sooooo, if by some serendipitous chance you stumble upon my blog and are having a baby or know someone who is and would be interested in a trade...an hour of your time for some newborn shots...let me know!
