Kaylee and Brett Sneaks

Decatur Civic Center

Congratulations on your marriage. I prayed over your day and now I pray over your lives as a married couple! I was especially touched by the pastor who performed your wedding. He wanted a wedding picture of y'all together because he puts it in a book to continue to pray over all of the couples he performs their wedding ceremony for! I love that.
I inadvertently knew Kaylee through her mom. When I first began teaching I worked at Justin Elementary with her mom. Then, I worked with her for 4 years at Sendera and I then got to follow her family grow on facebook. She was a dance girl, as was my daughter, so I felt like I knew Kaylee. I was so excited when she chose me to capture these very special moments.
I hope you enjoy these sneaks Kaylee!

Lemonade Stand- not so mini

First of all let me say. All of the kiddos today did great and made some adorable sessions. I decided to feature this particular session from today for parents.
When Juliet and her mom arrived she had just woken up and she was not too enthused with me taking her picture. As a momma, all I could think is how much this would stress me if we showed up for a photo shoot and my kids weren't feeling it. I had the time and I wanted "J" to feel comfortable because, lets face it, I care if we get the shots.
So we took our time and eased in. I am happy to report that she may have liked me by the end! Oh and... I got the shots. All good things come to those who wait.
Parents: when your kids aren't perfect for pictures, don't stress. Give them time to warm up. That is my job. As a mom of four, I definitely know you cannot always predict the day and time that will be best for your children and their many moods. Grateful we all stuck with it. I think this is such a sweet session. Even the sassy looks and the hiding her face. I love this session.
What helped: Mom brought some of her toys to make her feel comfortable. She brought drinks, snacks, and wipes. Mom even let her take her shoes off when she requested, which by the way, made for some great shots.

The first time she heard my shutter, this was the look I got. (disapproving)

With each click of the button, she became more annoyed with me. :) (my own kids do this too!)

Not having it!

Mom doing a great job of patiently helping her feel more comfortable.

I had to hide because she didn't want me near her. 

With mom near I got my first sweet look and smile! 

Getting more comfy!

Kitty is helping her fill her glass

She is a pro now

Shoes off! We're in a groove now.

I wish I could say it was my winning personality that won her over, but I think it was my lemonade making skills! <3 td="">

Lastly, THOSE EYES
