A little Christmas secret...

For Christmas I thought it would be a great idea to sneak some pictures of my daycare providers girls.  Our daycare provider is really into photography, so I knew she would just love it.  So one day I snuck the girls from their dad's house (divorced parents works to my advantage) and went to the city park to get some fall pictures.  I wanted to go uptown and get some too, but was in fear of getting caught, just in case their mom or someone else they knew would drive by.  We did a quick 30 min shoot so they could get back home to their dads.  I got about 12 decent pictures out of that 30 min so that wasn't too bad.  It was a challenge tho since it was sunny and obviously no leaves on the trees to give us shade from the harsh shadows and blown out faces from the sun.  So we had to work around the angle of the sun and the playground equipment in the background.  So I feel like I didn't find "The Light" as they say.   
Direct Sun + Photography = Not so Great!

I was soooo impressed with these girls and my boys that everyone kept a secret about this for 2 whole months.  I thought for sure that their mom knew about it.  When their mom opened it up it brought a couple of small tears to her eyes.  It made me feel really good, because I felt they weren't that best pictures.  

These are two storyboard prints I made for here.  The first was made a 20x20 Standout Mount.  Its a nice  modern approach instead of the traditional framing.  The second was just a 12x12 print.  

 These next two are my favorites.  



Here are a few others of these adorable girls.

Chair a little crooked from the roots of the tree.  Trying too work too quickly I overlooked it.
