On thursday afternoon I headed out for Broadview to do a full afternoon of sessions. I accidentally posted these completely backwards from the actual chronological order, but that’s o.k. Baby was my first session, and he was super happy and easy going, so session one = perfect! In this post, you will see a gorgeous colorful quilt. I would like to give some praise to it’s maker, Nadine Schmidt. She’s one of my most faithful blog followers, so I wanted to say hi and commend her on such a beautiful job on that quilt. Very cute! 
Session #2 was the girl, one of my 2010 grad students. We went out to her farm, which had so many great photo ops. I nearly broke my ankle about 5 or 10 times, stepping in gopher holes, but her yard was filled with the coolest spots. Old cars, horses, dead fallen trees. A goldmine for my style of photography.
My final session of the afternoon is the brother of a grad student I photographed a few years ago. He’s also a 2010 grad, and has a passion for baseball. We went to the ball diamonds and got some shots there, then cruised around town for a few other spots. Again, I could have broken some bones, as I was setting my ladder up in places where ladders shouldn’t go. Very unstable ground does not make for good balance on a step ladder. Thank goodness he was Mr. Supermodel, and I only had to take 2 or 3 images to get a deadly one. I love this first one. He’s looking so very fierce! And don’t worry mom, there are some big smiley ones too. I managed to force a few out of him
