Raise your hand if know what I am referencing.

Happy Weekend!
I hear it and I hear it a lot.
“You are so lucky that you are a photographer and can get great pictures of your kids anytime.”
Am I lucky? Take a look inside a recent photoshoot attempt of my boys and you decide how lucky I am. It’s not easy being a photographer to your own children. Yikes.
But, then again…they managed a few treasures out of the chaos. Ok. I’ll still be in love with my boys :)
“It’s almost a cruel joke that you don’t have little girls of your own to photograph…as a mother of 3 girls, I LOVE how your images show you’re inner girlyness.”
Just a little comment on my Facebook that made me giggle. Any one who knows me knows it was my destiny to mother all boys. I am perfect for them and they are perfect for me. However, it’s also no secret that I do like to tap into my inner girlyness and am in LOVE with little girls clothing and styling. So, what’s a mother of four boys to do? Photograph other people’s girls of course!!! One of my favorite clothing lines for little girls and boys is Eden’s Bouquet. We were thrilled to have our girl models dressed by them at our workshop last weekend. Whimsical and soft meets urban grunge…LOVE IT!
You can see all of Eden’s Bouquet products HERE.
Our He Said She Said Workshop went down this last weekend and I am still on cloud nine. The biggest, hugest thank you goes out to our staff, the amazing sponsors, and Mother Nature…who allowed us a few hours of weather perfection. AND, the workshop would be nothing without my newest best friends…er…attendees. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people…period.

Last, a few images from the family shooting portion…
Helllllllooooo beautiful…
Hayley is a model. Obviously. Duh.
But, the girl in these images is so much than that. I have such a special place in my heart for this girl who possesses so much beauty on the inside and out. In the almost four years that I have known her, I have been in awe at the talent, selflessness, and maturity that comes to her at such a young age.
Thank you Hayley…for being such an example to me and so many others around you. Oh yeah…and for being my little photographic muse :)
