I have a confession. I am a stalker- a very nice stalker that will give you pretty pictures if I don’t scare you off ;) Photography is a intricate part of my life… I see the world through a view finder. Everything around me inspires image ideas. So, it is not too far fetched the people will catch my eye. And… if you catch me in the right (okay, BRAVE) mood, I will approach, try not to act like too much of a crazy, offer my card and promise lovely images for hearing me out. Surprisingly enough, it sometimes works ;)
These two little ones caught my eye INSTANTLY (I mean, come on.. right?). I had two more dresses from The Measure to photograph. I had a woodland theme in mind and these two were the missing puzzle piece. Perfection.
Thank you for trusting me, coming out & playing for a bit and for being absolutely amazing, sweet, perfect little models :)

remi lai: Kyla - that is soooo funnie!!! XD. I love this series as well; also one of my favorites from you!! At least you ppl are females! I walk around with my iPad to at least kinda demonstrate I'm not a creeper (I'm male). I've only approached 2 families on the street and while they seemed nice enough to hear me out and take my card, they ended up not checking my website. Shannon - beautiful work!!! (04.28.2011 12:14pm)
