I have been beyond excited to blog about my photoshoot with Savvy Stitches. It was one of the most crazy and fantastic shoots I've ever done. I had prayed (literally) in the days before that we would be blessed with decent weather so we could do the pictures outside. We totally lucked out as it was about 50 degrees that afternoon and sunny. Who would have ever thought we could photograph spring outfits outside in February?
I wasn't exactly sure what all we could use or need as props, but I filled my car with just about anything I thought that might work. Jenny had shown me the location earlier, so I had an idea of what I wanted to do but wasn't sure if it would work out like I wanted it to. But it did--even better than I could have imagined!
We had five of the most precious little girls to photograph in about an hour with multiple outfit changes. To say they were awesome is an understatement. A big thank you to the girls, Jenny and her mom and sister and friend who were a huge help that day.
To purchase any of these outfits, visit the Savvy Stitches website and they will also be available to purchase on the Hoplet House website too.
As I started taking the group shots, Jenny and her sister and a friend of hers were all behind me, jumping, dancing, and doing just about anything to get the girls to smile and look my direction.
Then I told them to just look at each other.
Then I told them to hug. Oh my this is one of my all time favorite portraits. I've already ordered a copy for my office.
Jenny was worried the youngest girls might not cooperate, but they did awesome.
Aren't her curls to die for?
Sisters.
Even though the colors were beautiful, I couldn't resist doing a couple in black and white.
I have a love for chairs, pretty much any kind and the older the better. I knew I wanted a bright green chair to use for spring sessions and just to have something new. I visited the Peddler's Mall here in Lexington on Sunday before the session and found this chair which was perfect, except it was purple. I found the perfect color of paint and painted it on Monday. I brought it along and hoped to use it but had no idea how perfect it would match the outfits Jenny had made.
I've had this bucket for a while but haven't gotten to use it much. It's an old ice-cream bucket, which I bought from my aunt and uncle who are antique dealers. I loved it the minute I saw it mostly because of the color. Again, I had no idea it would match the outfits so well. Totally lucky I guess.
Jenny's mom was also along and had made matching necklace's for the outfits. Beautiful.
Jenny said this dress passed the twirl test.
Another beautiful necklace.
I just had to use my new blog boards for a couple of groupings. Love these!
