This was one of those weekends where the weather really didn't care about our good intentions. Saturday on the beach was cold and windy. The kids were miserable, and wanted to go get warm in the car. Sunday's Bridal session in Winston Salem was a monsoon, but we still managed to pull it off. Here are a few from the beach. Though I don't photograph kids all the time, when I do, I find myself having to trick them into being themselves in front of the camera. It's like they are trained from birth to look at the camera and give a smile. As a parent myself, I value the images that depict my kids being themselves much more highly than the ones were they are looking directly into the camera with a pleasant smile. Those smiley images are cool too, but not half as cool as when you can see their personality really come through in a photograph. Brooke and Brianna were troopers. They braved the cold which wasn't so bad. It was the cold carried by the wind which was constantly smacking us in the face that was the problem. I generally like wind. Hair flying in faces, creating movement, but this was the kind of wind that your grandma would yell at you about catching pneumonia, so we kept it short. Thanks you two for a fun session!

James- thank you for taking the time to shoot the girls. The pictures are amazing and truly capture their youthfulness. You have great patience and tremendous talent, not to mention and a real skill for finding that perfect pose. The kids really enjoyed you and the attention you gave them. Even with the cool temperatures and wind, it was probably the best photography session the kids have ever had. Thank you again!
