Baby on the way...

I had a ton of fun shooting Emily, Luis, and their dog Rudy this afternoon. Emily is my old teammate, friend, and now co-worker at CHEERSPORT. Baby Ben is due at the end of October, and I can't wait to meet him! I know Emily and Luis are excited as well. They are the sweetest couple and I just know they are going to be F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S parents (I know that's mispelled- it's a shout out to our old Teal days).

Thank you Rachel Garrison for the PJ idea...She had similar pictures on her blog, and Emily loved them so much she went out and bought PJ's for the shoot!

Rudy wanted his picture taken too!

I think this might be my favorite. We risked getting attacked by fire ants, but it was worth it!

My attempt to take Olivia & Sydney's Portraits

We started out having fun...Olivia loves getting her picture taken. However, she also likes to make funny faces at the camera. Which turns into a good thing, because she then cracks herself up and I get this shot of her genuine happy smile : )

Sweet Sydney. She's a little camera shy, but I finally got her to look into the camera.

Then we had a little fun in the Barbie Jeep. Olivia even gave me a ride up the driveway. Yes, UP the driveway...the little battery engine was struggling with me in it. Oh and you should have seen me chasing them in their jeep...that would have been a funny picture!

And we ended the session on a great note...a big happy hug from Daddy, HA (their dad did not upset them- they really didn't want to have their picture taken one more time)! In case you are wondering, although the girls were smiling in some of these pictures, I suggest taking a 5 year old and 2 year old's picture when it's NOT 90 degrees outside and very humid.

Vacation Pics

I forgot to post some pictures from the Daniels/Garrison Beach Trip to Hilton Head this past July. We had a blast, and I managed to teach Sam, Matt, and Rachel a couple of cheerleading tricks : )

What a relaxing day at the beach...

Behind the scenes look at trying to get a picture of 2 dogs that all they really want to do is play fetch with a ball in the water.
