More people (cute little girls, no less) to photograph at the ranch!
Another sunny day at the ranch. These girls took to the lake and also tried out a bit of horseback riding. These two are brave girls!
Guess who is photographing, too!!?! Grant is! And he's going to show me up in about 2.5 weeks. I'm excited to see the much more wonderful things to come from his encouragement and competition.
The girls were cautious around the horse (which is really wonderful for everyone involved) so we brushed, saddled, rode & photoed in a laid back way. You can see them warm up to the "riding a horse" concept. They go from complete skepticism to chilling out - so fun!
personal goal: Document play and stay out of the way. Help Grant get comfortable using the camera to tell a story.

When I can squeeze them in, I photograph people, too!
This day was beautiful - cool (for Texas in May) and sunny. The girls capitalized on some water sports and berry picking. It's hard to be a kid!
personal goal: Record major events of the day as the family relaxes; all "playing", little "posing".
Photographs of small moments as they relate to the whole story.

A special treat! Three (of four) sisters, their mom and each of their kiddos had a play-day and I was invited to tag along. One of the sisters and her son live out of the country; it's so fun to have a record of the girls and the kids getting together, since it's not an incredibly common occurrence.
This solo toddler has it made, don't you think? All the ladies' attention!
personal goal: Capture each little family group, a lot of interaction among the whole family, and to do a lot more "playing" than "posing". Photographs made of individuals as they relate to the whole story.

Have you ever tried to keep four (really young) kiddos happy and busy at the same time? These parents have their work cut out for them!
These are excerpts from the twin's photograph session, including some extra family members.
What a great time with this sweet family!
personal goal: Capture a bunch of expressions, have individual portraits of the twins as well as some "overlap" portraits. I wasn't going in there with the plan to capture both of them smiling at the same time, but to record their current expressions and abilities (crawling vs. creeping).
