BFFs. {A Mini Back-to-School Photo Session}

What do girls like more than being the center of attention?
Nothing.

These girls were in heaven getting their pictures taken. It was adorable! :) They've been super anxious to see their pictures (of course!) so here they are! :)

Seriously, this session didn't last more than 20 minutes. It was a quick, fun (successful!) Back-to-School Mini Session. To schedule yours, email me aliciastatesphotography{at}gmail{dot}com or send me a message over on Facebook!  (link on the right!)

Beautiful K.

 

I am so pleased with these images!! I have been taking pictures of this beautiful little girl since she was a baby and it's been amazing to watch her grow! We met up at a park and had a simple, awesome photo shoot! The lighting was perfect. The park was nice and green! We found some magical spots and I am just in love with these images! :)

It was a pleasure to hang out with this little miss! She is a breath of fresh air and absolutely darling! She was cracking me up with her one liners (when her baby sister started fussing she told her, "... it's okay kid.") She is totally mommy's little helper and quite independent. I had a ball just letting her do her thing and she sure wasn't afraid of that camera! It was great! Not to mention I didn't hear one potty joke or inappropriate noise the whole morning! (Girls and boys really are so different! Not better or worse, just different!) I'll tell you what though, girls sure are fun!

Zoey Turns One! {Part 1}

Cutie patootie Zoey is ONE! She has two older sisters who wore the same onesie for their First Year photo shoots! I think it is such a fun idea! Of course, Mel (the mama) is full of really fun ideas (and sure knows how to throw a party!).  The timing of the sunset was perfect and we got some shots with that rich, orange light even though I didn't think we would really be able to! But we found the pockets of light and Zoey worked it! :) Because of unforeseen circumstances (err... stores closing earlier than they should and not quite getting the shots we wanted for lack of the props we needed from aforementioned store...) we will be having a part two to this photo session! (I couldn't be happier. Another chance to play with this cutie? Yes please!)

...And Baby Girl Makes Four!

Those big brothers have their work cut out for them with this darling little sister they've got! Obviously she's the sweetest thing and creating images of her was pure happiness! I got quite a few of her and am only sharing my absolute favorites! Isn't her smile contagious?

Yeah, she's dang cute. :)

Tater Bug Turns One!

Holy Cow! How precious is this little boy? We had a super casual First Birthday photo shoot for him and can I just tell you how much I love taking pictures of kids! Taking pictures of children is where my real passion for portrait photography took off! Family portraits are way fun, but there's something about letting a kid be him or herself that really create lasting images! It's very rewarding for me when a parent looks at the images I've taken of their child and sees an image in particular and says, "Oh! That's so him/her!"

This was one of those shoots. We didn't try to pose him or force any smiles. He just did his thing! He's a natural and my gosh he's cute! 

Hope your heart smiled a little!
