Meet Nick & Sarah

A few months ago I received a call from a lady inquiring about me doing a photo session with her niece and nephew. First thought that came to my mind was "Aww how fun! Two little kids!". Then she told me she wanted this to be a Christmas present for her sister. And keep it a secret. How fun! When I asked the ages of her niece and nephew, images of cute little brother and sister moments soon left my brain. Their ages are 15 and 18. Big brother and sister. Hmmm. A different approach for this photo session sent all kinds of thoughts through my mind. I agreed happily and excitedly to do the photo session and we set up a date, time and location. Except I soon began to wonder how I would create pictures without it looking like some sort of engagement session.

I pondered how I would pose these two for days before our scheduled session. I searched this site for inspiration. Glanced through my Eddie Bauer catalogues. And soon I had ideas. I was anxious to meet these two who wanted this to be a surprise for their parents on Christmas day. Immediately I knew these two teenagers would be a blast to work with. It isn't very often you have a teenage brother and sister duo willingly agree to have photos done of them, especially together. And I wanted to make their photos as special as possible. For them. For their mom and dad. For their entire family.

Meet Nick and Sarah. They rocked their photoshoot! So much fun to work with. Happy, polite, and friendly kids. We hit it off right away. For over an hour we laughed, talked, posed and searched for good light and pretty spots to take pictures. I really loved this photo session!

As for their parents reaction to this Christmas present?

"I just wanted to drop you a note to say that we loved the photos of Nick and Sarah! What a nice surprise!! It certainly was the highlight of our Christmas."

I love my photographic life!
