With a few good friends
And a stick or two
A house is built at a corner called Pooh…
I’ve had this idea for a photo shoot in my mind for a while, and I finally had a chance to bring it to life this week at my parents’ property in Butler. My daughter and her two cousins are the best of friends, like three peas in a pod. I really wanted to capture the sweetness and whimsy of their childhood in these images. My Dad helped me put together the little tent, and my Mom lent me a couple of her amazing handmade quilts to complete the set. The clothing I chose for the kids had a slight vintage look to them, which I just l-o-v-e. Fyi, when planning a photo session for your children, clothing can really make or break a session, so I am always happy to help clients choose clothes for the shoot.
I am just over the moon about these images!

After story time at Pooh Corner, we picked some apples from the trees my Dad planted when I was a kid.




So cute how you can see the tops of the little ones’ heads as they watch their cousin bring the branches down for them.


I just love this little girl to pieces.
