Commercial Shoot

Last week was a crazy week. Ive stepped back up on my number of sessions each week, because I now have Sarah helping me with my orders, and then on Friday I had an incredible commercial shoot for the fabulous Jeena Hunget of http://www.bodylinens.com/. Jeena designs and creates a unique high-end pajama line who's clientele even includes Oprah Winfrey herself! Ive been doing mannequin shots of her new fall line for her website, but this session was using a model to really show off the line for the website and magazines. We had a full night trying to work to take advantage of the "golden hour" of sunlight right before sunset. The beautiful Sarah Linhardt modeled the pajama's for us and really did an incredible job! Thanks again Sarah for being such a vital part of the shoot! As you will see in the pictures, it seems like she was a natural at modeling! By the end of the shoot, and countless grasshoppers, chiggers, spiders and even some poison ivy later, we were all wiped out! But, the pictures were so worth it!

Weekly Highlights

The first full week of school was crazy, as I'm sure it was for most! It just comes as such a change in routine from summer, but Alyssa is loving first grade and the twins love going to "their school". Monday they even cried when I told them it wasn't a school day for them! It is so nice that their transition to day care a couple of days a week has gone so smooth!

Sessions were in full swing as well, and Ill include some of the highlights. The week was filled mostly with good ole' clients that have been here several times. Those are always so fun to get to see the changes in the kiddos. First was a family session in which I did the oldest girls senior pictures back when I first started my business. She's been off in college since then, and mom wanted a family picture with the whole group before she left this year! Marybeth your kids were so fun and reminded me of the chaos and comedy that my family brings! Then my one new client this week, it was a coincidence that Eric actually works with little Mr. "J"s grandpa, in Sedalia none the less. He played his daddy's guitar and was so adorable! Its so fun when clients bring a piece of something that's important to them to include in the pictures. Then I had a couple of my baby planners, "e" had her first birthday cake although she loved to make the mess, she really didn't care to eat it. Mmmm... not eat cake?!? Then Mr. "C" was in for his 6mo session, and finally was smiley for me! He had some of the biggest grins when he woke up from his nap that were just priceless! And then on to my last one for the week. They come from the lake area, and we've just timed it at her stubborn times the last few shoots, but this time after allot of coaxing, I got some really great shots! Dad sells tractors and they brought one up for the session!
