Grace & Claire for Mini Boden

You may remember these two from last season's Mini Boden photoshoot.  I was so happy when their mom got in touch again because it was trunk show time! Gracie and Claire were so brave today while bearing the cold!  We pretended we were in Florida on the beach!  We shot a few outdoors, then quickly went in where the girls showed me all around their rooms.  They are so fun to photograph and we even got a few shots of their new baby brother, Quinn, also sporting Mini Boden...

P.S. Mini Boden is one of the clothing lines I highly recommend for photoshoot attire!!!!!         Everything is so cute!

Update...

Hello there!  Sorry for my absence on the blog last week.  As you know, I was off in Atlanta participating in a children's photography workshop called Learnfest.  It was an action packed amazing 3 days with 4 of the country's top children's photographers...Audrey Woulard in Chicago, Tamara Lackey in Durham, NC, Laura Novak in Wilmington, DE and Lena Hyde in Palm Beach.  Each of these ladies comes from a different school of thought, yet incorporate a lot of the same ideals into their businesses.  My notebook is packed with ideas that I can't wait to implement into SMP! In addition to learning from these fabulous ladies, I had a chance to get to know other photographers all over the country.  I made friends for life and am looking forward to following their businesses as well!  

So, it was home from ATL and off to Florida for a quick Easter getaway.  My husband and his brother are best friends.  And, it just so happens his brother is dating my best friend from college.  So, we couldn't be any happier.  Greg and his brother are big fisherman and have found a captain on Isla Morada, Florida who they visit at least 4 times a year together and have caught anything from small yellowtail up to a giant shark!  So, this time they decided to invite us along for the trip!  It was a quick one, but we had a great time as usual.  And, being quite the fisherwoman I am...I reeled in a pretty good sized wahoo.  Plus, stone crab for Easter brunch...can't beat that!  

So, back to business this week!  I have had an amazing few months in the off season, and am now looking forward to the leaves coming out, the flowers blooming and hopefully the sun shining!  This week kicks off with a Mini Boden photo shoot, 2 senior shoots later this week and I will be at Park Tudor's Prom this Saturday doing a modern spin on their prom photos as well as doing a photo booth type shoot!  I can't wait to share it all with you!!!  

And, because what's a post without a photo...here's one from my time at Learnfest:

Portrait: Gregory | Indianapolis Children's Photographer

I am so thrilled to introduce Mr. Gregory Robert to the blog.  I am thinking this will be the first of many times he appears on here.  His parents are some of my favorite people, and Greg and I traveled down to Nashville, TN over the weekend to take his portrait.  He is just 10 weeks now, and a complete angel.   Plus, according to my Greg, he is his namesake.  {He chooses to ignore that Gregory is the little guys mommy's maiden name}  We had fun just watching him, feeding him bottles, and watching my Greg and Gregory's father try and dress him was the highlight of my weekend.   Gregory's mommy and I quickly excused ourselves off to a party and let the men figure it out.  So, without further ado, Mr. Gregory Robert...

And, SUPER CUTIE!!!
