It is always fun to get back the ‘Get To Know You Questionnaire’ from my clients after they have had time to each fill it out. So much thought goes into their answers and it is a wonderful way for me to get to know them before we head out for the engagement session. The Cradle of Forestry was the location of choice for Tim & Ashley, and the two hour drive was so well worth it. We were a bit worried about the weather, but still continued our drive. Actually I think we ended up driving more than two hours, but the views made it go by so fast. We made our way around the main park area and kept our ears and eyes open for the rattler that was brought to our attention a few times by passerby’s. The sun was starting to fall and Ashley mentioned that she really wanted to make it to the waterfall. So we packed up fast and headed that way, making it in time and using some creative lighting.
Being that we started the drive at 2:00 and it was now nearing 7:00, the dinner bells were going off for everyone. The day ended perfectly with a good dinner and great conversation. Here are a few from the session and the slideshow is below.

Thank you Tim & Ashley for a super fun time!

This maternity session was incredible fun for so many reasons.  My client is anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little one and having this maternity session makes it even more exciting.  What fun it is to be pampered by your friends, family and photographer for a few hours to capture the beauty of a growing belly.  I must say I was in heaven when I arrived to the house to have my choice of fabrics to wrap my client in, as her mother has her interior decorating business in her home.  After hair and makeup was finished we made our way up the hill to start in the woods and then eventually make our way down the hill to the lake.  I must have ran up and down the hill several times when I realized I left a diffuser or reflector at the top of the hill and not down where we were.  Needless to say, we all got our exercise in for the day!

I must thank my client for allowing me to share these gorgeous photos of her so that others could see just how beautifully radiant she is at this time in her pregnancy.

Assistance from a friend does not stop at hair and makeup…she realizes that she now is a diffuser and relector handler!!!  We had a few gusts of wind that made holding them rather difficult 🙂

Thank you for stopping by. I have many posts to get caught up on this week 🙂
