Oh, Audrey. {sigh}
Audrey is an animated little girl with sunny, bouncy hair. Her mom has a keen design sense, so Audrey always comes to the shoot with a delightful outfit and a well chosen prop or two.
A few years ago, though, Audrey wasn't happy to see me. She wanted no part of photos or me. Even her sparkly wand and lunch box couldn't coax her into a bit of play during the shoot. Somehow I managed to get a lot of shots, but this one always makes me laugh. Perfect hair, streamers blowing in the breeze, but a no nonsense, "Leave me alone ... I mean business!" look on her face with a glimmer of tears in those gorgeous eyes.
Fast forward to yesterday.
Me: Audrey, are you about done taking photos?
Audrey: No! I want to take more! {giggles}
She was bouncing around, talking to squirrels, running, twirling ... doing anything I asked. It was one of those days when I think to myself, "Is this really my job?"
Audrey, you are enchanting!
Gosh, she is a doll!

Wendy. I adore your photography and am wondering if you are holding any workshops in the near future?

Do you just shoot with models or what! How do you find so many beautiful kids?
