Little Miss Abigail Jade

Here is one of my best friend's firstborn. They almost cursed her with my first name. Instead, she is the lovely, darling, sassy Abigail who is the spitting image of her mother and so kindly informed that I may call her "Abby".
She was definitely my little poser but that turned out for the best sometimes. This goofy shot just makes me laugh. Not quite sure what we had going on here. Cute but evil bunny perhaps?
These next two shots are really some of my favorites. I love her stance and the wall and just...the yumminess of it all.

She really knew how to work it and all I did was have my camera at the ready.

This is the "portrait" shot. Who said brown eyes were boring? Oh right, my sister. :)
Her arms got a bit cold, so I gave her a scarf to use as a prop.
Oh the attitude and personality. Makes shots like this my favorite. Funny faces and all.
LOVE it!!
Wardrobe change and a sweet smile.

More goofiness. . .
A little bit of texture.
Location change. She was braver than her brother on the train. . .at first. Just look at that pose!
I know that the second shot is not in perfect focus. Ask me if I care?
After the train, we really were done and the light had for the most part abandoned us, but this little girly girl REALLY wanted to change into her "dressy" clothes. SO. . .we found a little painted wall and I grabbed what I could. Not too terrible. :P :)
Serious?. . .NO that was just a facade. The smile reappeared very quickly.
One more darling little laugh to end this long post. This was genuine too as I had just reached out to try and tickle her.
Tomorrow (or the day after) you get to meet her brother a bit more.

Meet the Cornell Kiddos

So I am finally getting around to blogging again. I used to be so faithful with it, but that was when I had a job that wasn’t so strict with the internet.

I have so much to catch up on. I thought the first thing I would do is show you the beginnings of much fun had when my old roommate drove down from upstate New York to visit and to have me photograph her two kids. We had so much fun while she was here and her kids are such characters. Sadly, her trip ended on a sour noted as she got into a wreck here in Georgia before she was even headed home. Fortunately, it wasn’t her fault, which isn’t of much comfort when you have the car completely paid off. :( That is life. At least the sucky part of it.

However, without further ado, I would like to introduce you to the Cornell Kiddos, Ms. Abigail Jade & Mr. Sean Hudson.
In these first two goofy shots I believe that they were doing the chicken dance. TOO funny.

Just earlier that afternoon, my friend and I had gone out and bought them galoshes and umbrellas to play around with. It was quite fun and worked out as a pretty good photo idea.

Love the shot of the two kiddos new galoshes here.


Abby is such a ham. I had the hardest time trying to get her NOT to pose.

This is one of my favorites. The colors, the textures, the expressions. I was trying to get Sean to go back with his sister, hold her hand, and run towards me. . .

. . .that didn't work at all but I got Abby to cooperate.

Our next stop after my favorite new location for pictures was the train downtown.

I find it funny that even the "bravest" of kids gets scared getting on this train. They don't like the height. Liam is the only kid that I haven't heard complain of being scared up there. Surprisingly.

I have NO earthly idea what they are doing here but I think it is hilarious how they look like they are just schlubbing along together.

This is another one of my absolute favorites of the two of them. I just LOVE it.

This one as well. It actually was very foggy out this evening and we were fighting for light but it makes this image look awesome. . .at least I think so.

Last shot of the two of them together for this post.

As mentioned I have so much to catch up on, but my next few posts will most likely be focused on sharing the individual shots I got of the kids. Hope you enjoy.

Twitter My Love

So I have had nothing really interesting to say as of late, besides the fact that Ms. Negativity has been inhabiting my body recently, so I have not really posted much.

The coolest thing to happen as of late was that my old roommate who left me to get married and move to New York State came down to visit and for me to take pictures of her two kiddos.

I am still working on getting those ready to debut on here but, in the meantime, I finally created a twitter account for my love who usually occupies his time reading mine. He had no profile picture at first. I had one in mind but he decided which one he liked but didn't know how to resize it. So I took it upon myself to, not only resize it, but tweek it as well. I like how it turned out. This was taken on our two year anniversary trip to Charleston in May. Ahh, good times.
