Sunflowers- Day 8| Charlotte Family Photographer

I cannot tell a lie.  A session with 4 kids under the age of 6 is always a challenge.  Luckily, the parents and I kept the atmosphere very low-key and laid back.  I think our trick worked!!  Just letting the kids play and explore the fields (while mixing in the occasional posed shots), created some precious images.  The T family had been planning a session since Christmas and I think God knew all along this was the environment these kids would do best in.  I adore so many from our session.  Thanks for the fun!

It was a watermelon kind of day in the field!  My good friend, Jenn, did an awesome job picking out coordinating colors for her family.  I think the colors look fantastic!  Great smiles from little E and AG made all the difference too.  I hope you enjoy the sneak peeks.  You will have a tough time choosing favorites when you see your full gallery soon ;)

Sunflowers- Day 6| Charlotte Family Photographer

Oh happy day!!  How excited is little R to be in this giant field of flowers?  He is the sweetest boy with the biggest pair of chocolate eyes this side of the Mason-Dixon line.  Love him!  Mom wanted a vintage shot of him playing with his tractor and I really like the way it turned out.  I co-shot this session with my very talented photog friend, Laura, and it was fun for all of us.  Enjoy!

Sunflowers- Day 5

What can I say?  God's great artwork, plus one lovely family and a dash of puppy cuteness is the recipe for some great pictures.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, H family.  There are many more to come in your gallery :)  

I still have available spots in the sunflower field until July 25.  Contact me soon for yours!

Sunflowers- Day 4....Charlotte Family Photographer

I cannot praise these little ones enough!  Little C was a tough one to photograph last year and I was expecting her to be bashful and timid in front of the camera.  Boy, was I wrong!  She turned on that adorable smile at shot number ONE and big brother, J, was amazing too.  Thanks to their outstanding behavior, we got lots of pretty images for Mommy and Daddy.  I am still not convinced the ol' parents didn't slip something into their little sippy cups.....hmmmm.....

Sunflowers- Sunrise Session...Charlotte Family Photographer

Not a bad start to the day!  I met one of my favorite families in the field this morning and boy, did those girls turn on the charm.  You can see where they get their good looks from, huh?  Thanks W family for an enjoyable Saturday morning.  There are many more great ones to come on your gallery too.  Enjoy!!!

You are My Sunshine....Charlotte Family Photographer

These precious three are truly my sunshine!  Tonight was our family's turn in the sunflower field and I think my dear friend and fellow photographer, Laura Stikeleather, did an outstanding job.  She captured the fun, silliness and love that makes up the Staley clan.  I am so happy with the results!!  Thanks to all of you who have passed your blog pictures on to friends and neighbors.  I am getting more and more calls and e-mails from families who have seen these images and want a session here.  There is such magic in this place.  It is a little slice of summer sunshine :)
