Here are a few shots from my portrait session with Lila. It rained cats and dogs on the first attempt. The second time around was hot but the light was great. Just your typical North Carolina late summer weather I guess. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph her since she was a baby and it has been fun to watch her grow.
This past Monday we had the awesome opportunity to go to King’s Dominion in Virginia for free! That’s right free! My wife got hooked up with 7 free admission tickets from one of her media reps. We all had a great time and we didn’t even ride any of the big people roller coasters. I usually stay away from purchasing the ride photos but I couldn’t resist the shot of Andrew. Nicole got the second one to complete the group. I know it doesn’t look like it but the first thing Andrew said when we got to the bottom was, “I wanna do it again”. : )
Every year we get at least one big praying mantis on our screen porch. I caught this one out in the yard and had to put it on the porch myself. They always manage to find a way out but not before the boys get a chance to hold and watch it. They have to be one of the coolest bugs we have around here. I love how they will turn their head to look at you. We got to watch this one catch and eat a grasshopper that was unfortunate enough to be on the back porch too. I wanted to shoot more but my littlest had to use the bathroom. When you’re three you gotta go when you gotta go. By the time I got back there wasn’t a crumb left! Boys love this stuff. : )
