I have a bit more to share from Tennessee… I got to spend the afternoon playing in the woods with a little boy. We explored the woods, splashed in the creek, dressed up and played just like a kid should. Shoots like these are exactly why I do what I do… there is something about digging into the minds of kids (I tell you, they are way more interesting than any grown ups around) ;) We wander, chat, joke, pause… and I get to watch eyes light up when they get to take on new personas and they realize that we are there for the sole reason of capturing how amazing they are.
I’d like to introduce you to one of the most cute & articulate little men I’ve had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with in a long time…
and his talented mama made these… he was SO adorable when he put on this outfit. He took it very seriously ;)

Roxana: Spending time with kids is always rewarding! Letting them be who they really are and taking a peak into their souls... that is a gift! Wonderful images, lovely lovely boy! (05.12.2012 08:04pm)
tanya: Shannon, you're definitely more psychologist than artist. Or just true artist. How can you make kids be so natural in front of your camera? Amazing.. (05.18.2012 05:01am)
Caroljean: Another AAAmazing AAA shoot! So beautifully done! (06.04.2012 07:01pm)
I just spent the last week in Tennessee. We went from Nashville (the perfect combination of yummy food, fantastic live music & great company) up to Gatlinburg (an amazing lodge retreat in the middle of the Smokey Mountains). Spending the day in the mountain air with a group of amazing women (the babbling creek and campfire made it almost surreal) was just what the doctor ordered. I can’t thank Misty enough for having me out or Jen for being the perfect travel companion…
and, of course, our adorable little models…
