I used to work in the same store as Sandra. She was in the floral department, I was a cake decorator. We were both pregnant at the same time (her daughter is 6 weeks older than mine), and now we are both stay at home moms. She was nice enough to volunteer her family as guinea pigs, and they became my first non-family clients! This session was shot back in July (oh how I'm missing those warm days right now!). My style has already evolved since this first session, but I still really like these photos <3. This was also my first time exploring Leroy Oaks, it's such a cool place! This little lady was constantly on the move! No time to stop to have her photo taken! Whoops...the balloons got away from us! They did this without being asked, so glad I caught it! Holding their baby photos. I had been dreaming of doing this photoshoot with my daughter ever since she was 3 months old and I came across this giant fake dandelion! I couldn't wait until the day came that I could put her in a sweet little dress and turn her loose to toddle around surrounded by prairie grasses and flowers. The photos came out exactly how I envisioned, and yet somehow better because now I could actually see Lyla walking around like a big girl :) I was actually a bit surprised at how well she walked! I figured being barefoot and walking on uneven ground would slow her up a bit, but no! It was all just way too cute. I even took a little behind-the-scenes video of her toddling away with her big fluffy dandelion <3 You can also see from the video the actual colors of the scene. My vision was to have much warmer tones, so with the final images you can really see the difference that editing can make. And here are the resulting photos. Isn't she the sweetest? I'm so lucky I get to be her mama <3 This final image is exactly what I wanted from this session. It's one of my favorite photos of all time <3
