Amina, Analise + Riker : portraits | iowa city, ia children & family photographer

oh goodness, I am stoked to blog these pictures!

You know how sometimes you meet people and think..

"oh they would be awesome to take pictures of!"

[other photographers reading this post nod their heads right about now] :)

well these kids are crazy adorable and I have always thought they would be so fun to photograph--

so I was way excited when their mom, Misty asked me about doing pictures!

Originally we were going to do a family session, but their dad wasn't able to make it that day,

so we turned it into a kids' session instead!

This shoot was so awesome--loved loved photographing these kids at this urban location!

so much win.

After every shoot I do typically I post a preview picture or two on facebook the same day,

and after I posted a few of these on there, the mom messaged me and said that she

"couldn't stop smiling"

loved hearing that.

It means so much to me to hear that people love and enjoy my work.

 

meet Amina, Analise + Riker.

this girl is crazy gorgeous.

oh my, this girl.

she was cackling laughing at me most of the time--apparently I'm hilarious. :P

the little man.

I had to add Misty in on a few shots--beautiful mom, beautiful kids.

umm, yeah this kid is cute.

before their shoot I talked with Misty before the shoot about outfits,
and she mentioned that her girls had pea coats they could wear.
right away I thought,
"umm, YES."

you decide what this face means.
if anyone has spunk, it's her.

seriously one of my favorite frames from the whole session.
love how they're leaning against each other.
that only the Mom is really looking at me.
how Analise is sucking her thumb.
sweet simplicity.

favorites, anyone?!
comments totally make my day [seriously!] :)

happy tuesday, friends!

love,
~H. Elise
