This shoot was one of the most fun I’ve probably ever done! We did it at the Western Kentucky State Fair and I’ve been dreaming up a shoot to do there for forever! This was it and it turned out just like I wanted.

I’ve been aching to get these two shots since the first spark of inspiration in February. It’s one of the shots that reminds me of summer and of my home town. I just love it.

This girl was pretty much fabulous! One reason I love photographing older girls is that that they practice poses in front of the mirror at home practically everyday, so when we go to shoot, they are overflowing with ideas and are pretty much naturals! Alyssa was no exception.

This little dude flat out loved my camera! He he can go from the silliest things I could come up with to the most serious.

Here’s one thing about Alyssa: She’s totally not afraid to do things with her little brother, but she’s definitely going to put her own twist on things. I love that!

Nicolas was ripping off and shoving enormous hunks of  blue cotton candy into his mouth, while Alyssa, on the other hand, was pinching off little pieces of her pink cotton candy.

See what I mean about him being able to pull off a totally serious look?

They were both total troopers throughout the whole shoot! July in this part of the south gets a little intense sometimes, but they didn’t seem to mind at all. Alyssa + Nicolas- Thanks for being so wonderful! I had so much fun with you guys! Becky + JD- Thanks for letting me work with your kids! You all are wonderful.
