Gorgeousness! Today’s shoot: the sta family

So do you see the absolute gorgeous kids in this shoot? Could they be any better looking? I don’t think so. This was a FUN shoot and I was so glad to be able to do it outside and with my 30D back in action!

This was a pretty last minute shoot- and a good story as to how they found me. This family lives right next door to the Led family who I did a shoot for about a month ago. They heard all the chaos and screaming in the backyard (that was the adorable little girl who wanted NOTHING to do with me or my camera) and saw the couch in the yard and really wanted to know what the hell was going on! The oldest daughter emailed me (and is apparently another one of my blog stalkers- yea!!) and wanted to set up a shoot with her siblings for a Christmas present for their grandparents. So gorgeous and sweet, too! We ended up going next door, borrowing the same burgandy chair and a half, sticking it in the backyard next door, and shooting away. The younger two girls have done some modeling (duh!) and just jumped right in with their modelly poses. The boy was not particularly thrilled with the whole deal, but he did a really good job faking it. And more importantly, I made HIM move the couch this time. The oldest girl looks so much like Kelly Ripa, right? She said she gets that often. She also told me that they are a very crazy family- they all stay up till like 4am every night- "like the Osbournes". They were awesome and fun and did great. I hope they love the pictures as much as I do!Img_5409sl Img_5405sl Img_5417sl Img_5431sl Img_5448sl Img_5467sl Img_5491sl Img_5458sl Img_5516sl Img_5522sl Img_5544sl Img_5555sl Img_5567sl Img_5574sl
