2 Year Photo Shoot

I thought I would share with you guys the photo shoot we did a few weeks back for J's birthday invites. This photo shoot was the whopper of all photo shots. All to get two simple pictures for J's birthday invitations. It spanned two days over two locations (several mini locations within those) with two cameras (and two iPhones). But boy did we get some great shots! So many of them simply take my breath away.

Mimi was here for the weekend, so she was in on the fun. The first day of shooting Daddy was at work, so the girls to a trip up to Havana to get some railroad shots. J of course was not all that excited about having her picture taken (hence the second day of shooting), but we did manage to get some really great shots. And Havana was such a beautiful back drop.

The next day we took Daddy along with the girls to a local park that is one of my favorite locals for photographs. I'm sure on lookers would have gotten a good chuckle from the three adults chasing after the one little girl shouting directions at her. But our craziness paid off.

It was a really hot day. We had sweat pouring down everything! So when we took J over to the fountain to get some shots...

It's not surprising what happened next! And I am so glad that we let her get in. These are my absolute favorite shots of her from these shoots. And they might just be my favorite shots of her all year! I love that we were able to capture her playing and get a glimpse of her real personality in some of these.
