town and country senior shoot

 Senior shoots are always fun!  I get to be a little more crazy, daring and fun with my work.  We jumped around to sooo many different places with this shoot.  She was such a trooper… changing clothes on the fly, bouncing around from location to location in the sizziling summer heat!  And as you will see, it was worth it!  We started downtown and found some great spots.  This first shot is one of my favorites!

 Then we headed to the meadow for some more natural shots.  Love these…to me it’s what’s youth is all about–simplicity, beauty, naturalness and innocence.  So pretty.

so much fun!

This was my second time working with this sweet family.  The first time was when thier first little one was born, and now, I got to work with their second addition!  And what a doll baby she is!  Just perfect!  It’s always challenging working with a newborn and two year old, but I think we go some great, fun shots–take a look:

http://www.andreashirey.com/blog/wp-content/images/lib_8.jpg

We got some sweet cuddle shots with handsome dad.

Such a sweet, fun shot.  Really illustrates the business of life as parents.

Another one I love!!

It was a blast guys–thanks!  You should be so proud of your sweet little family!

perfection!

I love this image.  It is one of my favorites ever.  It’s one that gives me chills and brings a great big smile to my face because it’s exactly what I wanted to capture with this little one!  Absolute perfection!  I’ve been blessed to work with this family three times now, and each time with them is better than the last.  It’s almost like working with old friends when I work with repeat clients.  We are comfortable with eachother and they trust me…and I love that!  Anyway, as you can see, we had a great shoot with a beautiful little girl,

http://www.andreashirey.com/blog/wp-content/images/emi_1.jpg

and beautiful flowers,

http://www.andreashirey.com/blog/wp-content/images/emi_2.jpg

The birthday boy played a fun Korean game called doljapyee - a game where the baby chooses one of five objects that signifies what he might become one day.  Guess what he chose??
