Sunflowers Round 2

Sunflower Portrait

Sunflower Mini Sessions | Part Two

 

Lots and lots of things going on this week…with tons of amazing photos on the desktop waiting for their turn to be edited, you can expect to be seeing a lot of pretty faces here on the blog in the near future.  But let’s pace ourselves.

 

A week ago I shot these amazing, super-pretty shots of Naomi in the sunflower fields as.  All the other sunflower mini sessions got moved, due to work conflicts.  That’s okay, though.  Naomi and I had a great time.  And there was no rush, since it was just the two of us…which is fine by me because she is incredibly easy to photograph.

 

Just don’t be bummed out…the others didn’t get cancelled, just moved.  So there is still one more sunflower post to come before the season is over.

The Fam

Last week Derek and I ventured to my favorite place in the world.  Elkhart, IN.  While there I got to go to the country’s best 4-h fair.  Seriously…it’s ranked #1 or #2–they flip flop with another fair in California.  I soaked in the hot tub and soaked up sun in the pool and went for a boat ride on the might St. Joe.

 

In short, it was awesome.

 

Like all trips home there are a million things we want to do and only a few select actually happen.  One thing we did find time for was taking an updated family photo, per my momma’s request.  The last time we did this, my sister and I weren’t married and there were no dogs included.  It was pretty casual.  Nothing dressy.  Just a couple photos in front of the barn {which is getting a fresh coat of paint this summer}.  The whole fam.  All together.  Even the dogs.

This is the Gallegos family.  Aren’t they just beautiful?  The smiles, the personality and those dreamy summer colors–some of the photos from our shoot in the farm lands of Practically Canada go down as some of my favorites to date.  Their flash drive is in the mail and they’ll soon be sorting through their whole session.  But for now, I’ll share some of my favorites from the day.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
