Cousins
Well it looks like I have already blown my goal of posting a new entry every week! 
Nonetheless, I have some great pictures to share with you. I just got some enlargements back from the lab and I had to post them. Not only because the two subjects are so darn cute, but the lighting outside this particular day was just perfect! I don't think I even got out my external flash so what you see here is beautiful sunlight and sometimes the use of a reflector (you know that "big, round, white thing"...).
This is Taylor & Ava...cousins.
I photographed them together quite a bit, but I also started off shooting pics individually. Now Taylor was being really camera shy at first but even with her shyness we were able to capture some great shots. Sometimes the best ones are not necessarily looking straight at the camera...
I also loved this one of her and her mom hangin' out....
Now I have to add some of the little one, Ava. It is so funny when you put an infant down in the grass for the first time, because almost always they are a little bit surprised by the "texture" of the grass and inevitably I get many shots with either one leg up in the air or if they can manage it both legs! Ava was using her balance for one leg but she was not about to let that other leg go & settle in the grass. With all of us "oohing & aahing" at her, she gave us some smiles after awhile and eventually relaxed after getting used to her surroundings...
Aren't they cuties?
Well, hope you enjoyed viewing those. I am anxiously waiting for several more orders from the lab and I can't wait to share some more with you. Hopefully, I will get into the groove of this new "blog" thing!
"Til next time,
Julie

I have to say that those cousins are cuties! Not that I'm biased or anything (since Ava is my daughter). Julie, you definitely have a talent for capturing those expressions and details that the rest of us can't get at home! My only complaint - there so many great shots - it's hard to narrow it down! I'll be calling you soon!

Julie: loved this weeks blog. Taylor and Ave are beautiful. I loved the one of Ava in the grass for the first time. I will have to share that with some of the families I work with. I get asked alot of questions why babies are afraid of the grass, well, I will just show them little Ava. You are awesome at what you do. Kathy
