Kim in the snow and the nameless cat!

We found some snowy areas in Kim's yard before the snow melted on this beautiful sunny day in January.  We didn't plan to do on any pet portraits but Kim's pet cat wanted to get into the act!  I would have added the cat's name but they have so many cats that they aren't named.  Kim picked most of the cat portraits as her favorites and I have included them for you to enjoy!

Kim's Wet & Wild Pool Portraits

Kim probably thought I was a bit crazy when I mentioned to her mom that I wanted to do a portrait session in our pool for one of her 8th grade graduate sessions.  You would never know that she was hesitant when you view the favorites I have included below.  I having been wanting to do portraits in the pool since I acquired the pool this summer.  Think of the nice tax break I could get on my pool using it as a prop!  Just kidding!  Anyway, I hope you enjoy the portraits I have listed which show Kim having a blast in the pool!

Marjorie ~ 8th Grade Graduate of 2013

Marjorie is my first 8th grade graduate for 2013.  We were excited to be able to photograph her in the gorgeous sunflowers and wildflowers on a perfect day--no wind and overcast!  Her outfits went so well with the pretty wildflowers and made for such colorful portraits! The brown horse in the photographs is Reese Cup, Marjorie's horse.  Her mom told me later she was surprised we were able to get photographs with Reese as Marjorie is very allergic to horses.  There are so many favorites from her session I will break her sessions into to blog posts--outside and studio.  Here are my outside favorites from her session for your viewing pleasure....
