So….. as I mentioned in the previous post, I have lots of Communions going on right now. For this session, I photographed my cousin, Madison, and her good friend, Meghan. I feel so lucky again as they were both as wonderful and excited for the portraits as my last session. We had so much fun! Unfortunately, it was pouring rain outside. We had really wanted to do some outdoor portraits. Though we didn’t get outside, I love the way the rain coming down the window looks! We got a bit of the outdoors inside which was great. And, as many of you know….. I do love rain!

Anyway, Madison and Meghan, you did a FABULOUS job for the portraits! Thank you so very much! I had so much fun. : )

So, first featured is MADISON ROSE!

And, here is Madison Rose with her adorable cat, Shadow…. He was coaxed out from under the bed for this portrait with a piece of chicken. : )

And, now, MEGHAN!

I also took a few photos of Meghan’s adorable sister, Maura, who was so extremely patient throughout the entire session. I love the way their portraits look together side by side….

And here is what the girls really wanted to do the entire session… get photographs together, jump and play! We waited until the end, of course!

I love that it looks like they are floating with no feet….. kind of like fairies with their big dresses too…

Even more rain!

So, just after I photographed Dylan, Connor and Kaylan, their friends, Shealyn and Jacob arrived for even more portraits! We started off dry and indoors. Here are a few::

Next, we headed outside. Here is how Jacob felt about the rain! Jacob, awesome job on the jump!!

Here a couple of Shealyn… letting her her get wet. She was really at ease in front of the camera. A natural model! I love that you can see the drops of rain in the sky and in her hair!

and lastly, here are some of them playing together….

A beautiful rainy spring day!

It was definitely rainy and gray on the morning of these two portrait sessions. I was very excited though! I tend to enjoy a nice rainy day. It helps to set a nice mood for the portraits. My first session was with three siblings. We did individuals as well as them all together.

Here are some of Connor’s individuals. He is making his First Holy Communion soon!

Then I headed outside with Kaylan. Isn’t she just stunning?! The fog made for a beautiful soft background….

then…. I got some of big brother, Dylan. I was sincerely impressed with his maturity and helpfulness during the entire session. Thanks, Dylan!

Lastly, we got all three kids together. Big thanks to Mom for letting the kids get a little dirty! I wasn’t going to have them sit on the steps because of the rain and mud, but she said, “they are just clothes, they can be washed!”. What a great attitude! I absolutely loved that.
