Fall Photos at the Tracks - Part I

I spotted these nearby railroad tracks a while back and thought they would make for great photos.  I love how the trees arch over the tracks and the sunshine peeks out in the distance.  I only wish they weren't currently in use - That train's horn is LOUD!!!

And I knew this sweet child would be the ultimate model the first time I laid eyes on her.  She did not disappoint, although she was definitely not as into the shoot as I was!  Her momma did a good job of coaxing smiles out of her and, truth be told, I love a photograph of a child who's not smiling.  Somehow, to me, the innocence, trust, and wisdom of a child are more beautifully expressed that way.

 

 

We did an outfit change for the second half of the shoot and moved over to nearby Hidden Cove Park.  I'll post some of the "fairy" shots in Part II - stay tuned!

Newborn Baby Love: Times Two!

What an opportunity to photograph newborn twins!  I was so happy their parents allowed me into their home at such a wild, wondrous time to photograph the new babies.  They were so gorgeous!   I could have sat and watched them for hours.  And I of course had to hold one (every chance I got) to help momma out, since there were two of them.

So the story goes that you should photograph newborns in the first ten days of life, to maximize their sleepiness and ability to be manipulated into adorable poses.  But these little ones were three weeks old and very cooperative, once both finally fell asleep at the same time.
 
First we did some shots that were perfect for b&w...

And with their gorgeous skin tones, I had to do some in color too...
