Hynes Family

Although winter tends to be a little slower for outside photos we managed to catch a break on the weather and trudged through the snowy trail at Neil's pond for the beginning of our session.  I was so happy when mom contacted me to do some pics of their new baby Avery and her big sister Emma.  They are both such sweet little girls and were so cooperative and pleasant it made my job easy!  Kisses and cuddles, skittles and flowers, fairies and fun summed up our day!!

Chasing the weather

It called for showers in the morning on Friday and we thought we'd have to cancel our photo session.  So how delighted were we to see sun at 9:30 am on Saturday!!!  We went ahead and 'yes' we would meet at the chosen time and location!  About five minutes before we were supposed to meet, the sky opened.  I mean, it rained cats and dogs!!  I thought it was a sun shower because the sky in my back window was gorgeous blue, but my front window told a different story!!  There was a menacing gray cloud hovering over the very spot that my session was supposed to be!  I tried to call Ann-Marie but they had already left.  So I got in my car and left too still hoping for my sun shower theory!  We met up, disappointed because it was still raining.  After calling my husband to check the weather where he was and calling her mom to check the other direction, we decided to head east, hoping to drive out of the weather.  They followed me and when I hit sun, I parked the car, not far, ironically from our original location!  The day did not disappoint after that!!  We made the most of the vibrant colors the wet and colorful trail offered us and had a blast doing it!!  This great family was full of energy and laughs and was so much fun to shoot!!  From silly expressions, to jumping puddles, the day turned around and we had a great session after all. 

Time with Carter

 

Here are a couple of shots taken mid July at Neil's pond.  It was the most perfect evening. It was hot, sunny and still.  Keely was busy and Carter was bored.  So he and I decided to go for a little walk with the dog hoping to cool down and have a swim.

We found a sunny spot and I looked on (and snapped) as Carter enjoyed a peaceful splash in the pond. We saw ducks and a beautiful tiny dragonfly that I managed to capture, photographically speaking of course ;).
