Giggly. Outdoorsy. Easygoing. Happy. And beautiful.

What a privilege it was being able to work with this amazing girl.

It was hot and buggy and she was a trooper.

While I was in the Outer Banks of North Carolina at a family reunion I had the opportunity to photograph my brother and beautiful sister in law. Here is a sampling of the photo shoot.

This little girl is as sweet as she looks. And what a trooper! She was such a pleasure to work with.

Dandelions and my sweet Pokey.

Pokey is not your typical girl. She has a love of the outdoors. If you look closely you might even find some dirt under her nails. But she did me this favor and put on a frilly skirt so I could take her picture. We compromised and decided to do the shoot in the woods, conveniently located across the street.

As much as I have loved using my own children as models, I’m ready to tackle some new subjects. If you live in the Cedar Rapids, IA area and would like a photo shoot, contact me at lish@mchsi.com to schedule your session today.
