The first Marathon of 2013 was over the weekend and it was great for a few reasons:
1-the weather was perfect! Not too hot, not chilly, not wet….just right.
2-we shot it at the new outdoor studio: our farm!
3-no one got lost and missed their session!
4-there was great variety from session to session–young families, older families, extended families and just the girls :)
5-everyone did SUCH a great job on their wardrobe! It makes a HUGE difference and you all looked fabu!
6-very, very little crying. It’s true–I hardly cried.
7-a smaller group! Instead of 9 or 10 sessions in one day I settled on six and it was so refreshing.
Ok, I could go on and on–but the point is, the Spring Marathon was a great success. A HUGE thank you to my faithful assistant who made a special reprise just for this session–Rita! And thanks to my husband for dropping EV-REY-THING to help me prep our property and locations for the sessions. And finally, thanks to all the new and old friends who booked a session and made such an effort to look swell and arrive early–you made the day fun and easy!
Private galleries should be ready soon–I’ll email you when they’re ready and we can schedule a time in-studio or online for you.
ENJOY!
ps. Amy I PROMISE there are a bunch of great family shots, but I couldn’t resist posting these two of the boys :)
We had two session with ‘just the girls’ which is always a lot of fun for everyone–typically lots of awkward giggling and really close contact. I can’t wait for the day I had an all-guys group ;)
You might recognize these cuties from the Fall 2012 Marathon. This time they brought more family!
Another just-the-girls session–can you guess who the star of the show is?
*Special thanks to Aimee for doing such a gorgeous job on Katie’s make-up! Which you can’t see in b&w…oops. Trust me…it looked awesome.
These kids…I mean, come on. They can’t stop being so CUTE!
Last session of the day–but no lack of energy and affection<3
