Arubian Princess: Aruba Photography
After watching her this day on the beach it became evident that it was much more than a vision problem and that Little A couldn't see at all. As I listened to her mother describe "A here comes the water. A it is so blue here. A can you feel the sand?" She was so patient and loving. Teaching her every step of the way how to feel out her environment. At two years old she had just learned to walk. Which I am sure was no small feat if you think about how it must be to learn to walk in the dark. But little A was very determined even with the un-even sand and less than stable under footing.
I can remember my oldest when she was little being so timid around anything new and having to desribe anything new to her in detail so she wouldn't become upset when faced with the new situation. Remembering this I was thinking how much more challanging it would be as a Mom to have this whole extra element thrown into the mix. But little A doesn't appear to be timid at all. Something that I am sure will help her immensely.
I feel honored to have met this family and took pictures of them playing on the beach since they had their hands a little full and it would have been difficult to watch these two and take any pictures at the same time. I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

Seriously too much surfing!
I will be in Aruba shortly so not only am I trying to wrap up any loose ends before I go but I am also trying to prepare for my trip. So this will be 2 posts in a row about buying stuff! One of my OTHER favorite things to do other than photography. I found this product. A little pricey in my oppinion for what it is but hey THEY thought of it! It turns ANY purse into a camera bag. Now how cool is that for a photographer or just a weekend warrior that loves to shoot her friends or kids on family outings. Check it out!

Kristin's Bump! :Raleigh Maternity Photography
I was so excited when Kristen and her husband came in to the studio for their maternity session. Kristin is so cute and wears her pregnancy well. She wanted a little outside but of course also the classic inside black background shots. I sprinkled in some others with it. The most exciting part is that this couple doesn't know what they are having! It could be a little baby boy bump or a little baby girl bump! We did backdrops with both blue and pink so we could have it all covered. Enjoy! Can't wait to meet this little man or lady when he/she comes. Congrats you two. : )
