We met Lauren in summer school. Bradley began playing with her in the last few weeks of school, but you would have thought they knew each other for a lifetime at our shoot. Bradley even took a nap so he would be “in a good mood” for Lauren (naps are not easy to come by nowadays). Mom asked for an outdoor/beach shoot…and we couldn’t have asked for a better location!  It was a beautiful afternoon, and not only did they have access to the shoreline, their condo also featured an amazing courtyard. I could have shot in that courtyard forever. It was absolutely gorgeous!

I loved the way the sunlight reflected off of Lauren’s strawberry blonde hair. Her playful freckles only added to her sweet personality 🙂  The best part of the shoot? She LOVED to pose for me (she came up with every single pose on her own, with no direction from me at all). I asked Mom if she had practiced “posing” with Lauren, and she refused to take credit for it…Lauren just loved the camera! Most children need a “warm up” period, typically starting off shy and timid.  Not little Lauren, she was ready to go right from the start! Totally uninhibited and I loved it!!!

Mom and Dad, hope you have settled in to your new home! We will miss you…please come back and visit us in Hawaii soon! As Bradley said, “Mom, I remember that day with Lauren…it was a great day. I had so much fun!”  Here’s your sneak peek:
