The first of my minis!

Every time I create a mini shoot I like to test it out on my favorite clients. My beautiful girls :) Of course  in model diva fashion, they throw fits, are demanding, stubborn and hard to work with but when it all comes together it somehow works out! :) I also had the pleasure of bringing along a friend of mine to help me lug all these props to my location. She brought along her two boys to photograph as well. Four toddlers, two cameras, two mommas, and two photographers...We got this right? HA! Kids seem to have this understanding with each other. "When mom decides to take cute pictures and go through a lot of stress to get us all here, we will not cooperate...deal? Deal!" However kids, we are smarter than we look. All it takes is some silliness and we will get the job done! IN YOUR FACE! lol

All in all it turned out great and whenever things go great for me that usually means something unfortunate is going to happy. In tradition, I attended a photography meeting the next day and found out that the location that I was doing my mini's at is cracking down on photographers and you need permits and proof of insurance. SO FRUSTRATING! For the type and style of photography that I love, spaces are becoming very far and few. I can still get away with it if I am discrete about it, but when hauling props I am an open target. So with that said, I had to move my location. Oh well. I know it will still turn out great but it is frustrating when you have a vision and can't see it through.

Ok enough ranting and more picture sharing!
