I’m a day late posting Miss C’s sneak peek but here they are!  She had a two part senior session since about an hour into her first session, it started to rain.  A few sprinkles here and there were fine and then mom noticed the lightning moving in.  So we finished up her session this week, in a very cool location.  I hope you (and mom) like them!

I just love this photo.  We’re in her backyard, she’s relaxed and oh look, there’s a canoe in the background.  Ok, well maybe not everyone would have noticed that but that’s the first thing I noticed and I love it.

Miss C’s super secret location suggestion.  I’d be surprised if I could even find it again…

This is my niece.  She’s a tough one and she just turned three.  There were bribes going out left and right and after her mini session, I could have kicked myself for forgetting the “biggest lollypop ever” bribe.  Oh well, at least I’ll have that one for next time because I think we did okay in the end!

She’s good at playing the ‘avert just the eyes’ or ‘cover the mouth’ game…

She is trying to hard not to smile!

Thank goodness, finally!

This girl has it together.  Cool ideas, great wardrobe and even though senior year has just started, she’s already been accepted to a great art school here next year!  It took me forever to go through and narrow down her photos after her session and then I had to narrow it down again for her sneak peek!  Thanks ‘L’ and mom for all your great ideas.  I think you’ll love the photos.

I LOVE the polka dots on her sweatshirt and the circles above her on the boards to tie it all together…in a framey sort of way.

Credit for this location goes to mom who spied it from above while L and I were busy taking photos. 

I snuck these photos of my niece and nephew while my sister was changing clothes for her belly photos.  Since I’m under strict orders not to post anything of her belly without her seeing them first, I’ll post these instead!   I usually can’t get anything but crazy faces from them anyways so I’ll just go with what they give me!

I know mom has patiently been waiting for these all day so here they are!  Last night was a perfect evening for photos.  An extra thanks to Miss A who was very patient waiting for her turn while I chased her sister around for a while!  And keep your eye out for Miss A’s commercial appearance during the Packers/Vikings game on Monday too (look for the Kemps cow)!

What sisterly love…
