Flowers and Smiles | Anchorage Children’s Photographer

24 Aug

Wow, what a summer!  This year was full of sunshine and good times.  I kicked off the season with a beautiful young lady sporting some sparkly pink shoes and fun outfits.  The day was perfect and sunny, the flowers were out in full force, and this adorable pint sized princess was full of smiles and giggles.  Okay, so there might have been some goldfish crackers involved, but generally speaking I think she was perfectly happy to play around in the grass and the flower beds for me!

I think my all time favorites are those of her in the yellow flowers.

 

A Girl and her Dog | Anchorage Portraits

4 Aug

My long time neighbor and friend and her cuter than cute pup named Darby graciously agreed to trek through Kincaid with me a few weeks back.  I was on a quest to get a few shots of the wild geraniums before they were lost to the end of summer.

Darby was unbelievably well behaved while I clicked away and tried to blast him with more and more light.  His black fur was sucking the living daylights out of everything I shined onto him!

My favorite shot of the day probably makes no sense to anyone else looking at it, but right as we were finishing up, Darby closed his eyes and sniffed at a flower.  It totally reflected his personality and was the sweetest moment.  Unfortunately, though, it didn’t translate well in the photo.  He just looks like another dog with his eyes closed!   You can’t actually tell that it was a flower he was supposed to be sniffing.  I threw it in anyway, though, because the thought of it makes me giggle!

Thanks you two for being the best neighbors ever!
