Fun in the Field (Orlando Children’s Photographer)
Just popping on to share a cute little family I shot a few weeks back…I’m not sure what they thought when I drug them through the weeds and into the woods, but they were great sports…and in the end, they had a little fun bug hunting with some magnifying glasses…thanks for playing guys…it was fun!
Why?? (Orlando Children’s Photographer)
Tell me…why does this child of mine do such things?? There are days..ok, most days.. that she keeps me on my toes…always into this or that..pouring an entire bag of sugar out on the floor and dancing in it…washing her hands with toothpaste…taking an entire closet of towels, putting them in the bathtub..and then turning on the water…and then..this, taking a red marker and having a little fun with it…after the fun was over, she walked up to me..hand on hip, in her sassy little voice and said… “Do you think I have on enough makeup??” OMGosh…this kid…it was permanent marker..and I had quite the time getting it off…my efforts included Clorox Wipes, which finally did the trick….Just look at her..what a mess…but I will say…I adore her, every little bit of her…and wouldn’t have her any other way….
Of course, I had to take some pictures…Adler was hanging out on the sidelines..saying..”this is ridiculous Piper, you look like a clown..” he sees me grabbing the camera and busts out with..”oh…gggrrrrreeaaattt..here comes the camera…..” UGH, what a scorch! I pop her up on the patio table..take a few..and of course, she gives me the standard pouched lip look that she’s forever giving…and then, she grabs a hanger…and says..”what about this..does this look good??”..Umm, yeah Piper..that just brings it right into the next level….
This kid…mine…love her….

Bam! I am just on fire with the blogging thing huh…I’m sayin’…3 posts within 3 weeks…but will it continue? Hmmm. Let’s not think about it and just go with the moment….
This little lovely is from a shoot I shot some time ago…is she not just rockin’ w/ the perfect ensemble finished off with perfect accessories…and the shoes..and bag…you know, nothing pulls together an outfit together like the shoes and bag..and it seems as if Miss Claire already has that figured out….She was full of sass and spunk…mixed in of course was a whole lot of sweetness…thanks for playing with me Claire..it was fun…
So..I’m not thinking it’s not going to be too long before I pop back in…I have something brewing…all I’m gonna say is..”Grandma, what big eyes you have……” Until then….
My Pip…and a pair of glasses - Orlando Children’s Photographer
Surprise..betcha didn’t expect to see me back so soon…just a little over a week! Not too much going on..just a bit of this and that..the weather has been absolutely gorgeous here…springy, breezy goodness…we’ve been spending tons of time outside..playing soccer…Frisbee…sidewalk chalkin’…rip stickin’…just all sorts of stuff…
Th other night we were out..the little Pipster slips into the house and comes back out with her favorite book of the moment…and….a pair of glasses…this kid, I tell you..is a ball of quirky, sassy sweetness and I just cannot get enough of her…kissin’..squeezin’..huggin’ on her 24/7…. Anyway, I walk over to her and she’s looking at me, smiling from ear to ear..and announces..that everything looks so fat -n- juicy with her glasses..and she says..Mama, YOU look fat-n-juicy…hmmmm, ok…fat-n-juicy am I…she let me get a few snaps..and lasted for about, umm..2 minutes..and then the “mood” came out…but even with the moodiness, is she not the cutest-thing-evah??
Ahhh…I’m back…again…

Alright..so my friend Laura, who happens to be a blogging fiend…says to me…”You know,that…”I’m back…post” is kinda funny now, you came..threw up some pictures and took off again…and yes, she’s right…I have been absent..but tonight..I again shout out..”I’m back..” just for you Laura..and I know you’re checking daily…so my dear…go grab a cuppa coffee…cause this is gonna be a long one….
So, where have I been..hmmm, all over actually..I’ve been a bit lost..literally, and so super busy, the girls have had so much going on with cheer..I’ve travelled to Atlanta..and then Dallas for competitions..and then a week later flew to Arizona for a photography convention..came back from that, and then right back out for another cheer competition..and this past week spent time at the beach for Spring Break….so, see…really, I have been going..going…non-stop…but things seem to be settling down and falling into place…finally…all seems calm…and it’s good…
I have been up to a little this-n-that though..a little picture snappin’ here-n-there…About two weeks ago I was sitting outside with the Pip and she wandered back in the house and came out with a banana, plopped down on the wall…and had herself a little snack…me, camera in hand..figured..why not? Totally random, just my girl, loving on a Chiquita…but I have to say…I love them…
Speaking of foods..and snacks…I just have to say, I’m having a major addiction to Easter candy at the moment…all sorts, but “the” candy that it topping my obsession right now is Brach’s Malted Eggs…can I just say…HEAVEN…love them so..so..so…if you follow my Twitter feed you know that I got a bit delirious the ohter night…someone..and I say that with..umm, not sure how I say it…but…SOMEONE, in my house, a child..I’m thinking Sayler, although no confession..ate the last of them..I thought..no big..I’ll just run out to Target and grab some…but…ACK..not there…after about 5 more stops..and alot of sweating..I found some..and bought FOUR bags..and now, as I type this..I’m eating them..and getting thirsty… I have to stress…they HAVE to be Brach’s, have to…no substitue will do..not Whoppers brand..or the speckled ones…just the Brach’s…the chocolate is just so..and the malted part..ummm..I dont know..just go get some… and I do have to give a quick plug for Coffee Mate coconut creamer…omg..love too..we can blame that little have-to-have on my girl from Oregon MIWI….who happens to be fantastic in every sort of way….and shares my love for a good cup of joe and a slice of key lime…
A snap of Raygan..out by the pool a few weeks ago…
I am just jumping all over the place here….but, to all of you that have been emailing me..asking about processing, textures..equipment and so on…and not getting a reply..I’m sorry! I’ll be honest and say…I’m not a girl that loves email…I read them..in the car..or get busy with the kids..and before i know it…I have a stack to return..and it just keeps stacking..and stacking…but, I really don’t mind sharing…SO..and I’ve done this once before on my old blog…but thinking I’m going to save it this time..and post it under FAQ’s…because so often, it really is the same question over and over…but..if you have a question…go ahead and ask it in the comments section…after they’ve all been asked..I’ll pop up a blog post with the answers…deal?
Sayler…last night..we were just playing outside…I just loved the way her hair looked..down, messy….she gave me a few minutes..and I got a few I liked…
And of course..I could never put up a post of my children and leave my little man out..and I have to tell you how lucky I am to even had a picture to post of him..he is BY FAR…the most difficult child to photograph…he will not sit still, will not make eye contact..just will not….I begged him..bribed him..and still..he just wasn’t having it..I bet I took over a hundred shots and got just two..but these two I’ll take..
OK..i’m thinking we’ll stop here…I have several more bits o’ randomness to share…but I won’t..I’ll save it for the next post..let the excitement mount (kidding)…but if you made it this far..and actually read the entire post…yay you, and thanks…and don’t forget..if you have any photo related questions….or even not-so-photo-related questions..just ask in the comment section..and I will reply…pinky promise!
