I am so excited to finally share these images with you guys.. first of all, cause I loved the location Heidi picked out.. cause I loved the light we had that evening, i got to shoot with my new camera and most important.. cause I just plainly love to take pictures of the McGuire’s and I enjoy hanging out with them! And so does my daughter.. I can not bring my daughter to all the shoots cause of course that’s my work, but I am really fortunate to call Heidi and her family not customers anymore but friends, so Ally of course had to come to see Gavyn again and take some pictures of her own.

People who follow me on facebook might have checked out my daughter’s pictures and her amazing self-portraits.. it’s hilarious. I love her little close up nose and teeth pictures.. or other random things she captures around the house. (my husbands armpits while he is sleeping.. her feet, her thump.. ) But thank god for the delete button.. cause she also loved to capture.. me stepping out of the shower, the dirty laundry piled up on the bedroom floor, horrible close close close ups from my face.. etc.)

This time Gavyn and Ally tried to take pictures of the little bullfrogs they catched that day.. I just thought that was soo cute.

The locations was out on a farm somewhere between Farnhamville and Manson and it was perfect. The trees around the little lake gave an amazing evening light and the little stony beach along with the bench and peer made up to be the most perfect spots to take family pictures. Locations is always very important but if you don’t have great light, even the most amazing place in the world will look horrible in pictures.. so when location AND great light come together.. photographers like me, who totally work with the natural light and always look for light first and location last and would NEVER ever EVER break out there flash outside, feel like in heaven.

So in short.. it was a great evening! Beautiful family, gorgeous, happily in love couple and darn cute boys! But check em out yourself…
