coraline…

So, I had this session on Saturday (yes, that’s right folks, I’m blogging about a session I shot YESTERDAY… I’m turning over a new, less procrastinating leaf) – and I meet this “R” – a little girl who is absolutely amazing. Shy at first, but a little foot race took care of that, and we were good to go. So, it turns out that R (who is 7 and three quarters – don’t forget the 3/4) loves all things weird. Gravestones, scary stories, and the movie Coraline.

I’ve been afraid to watch Coraline because I don’t like scary stuff – but I left the session thinking that if a 7 (and 3/4) year old can watch it and love it, then I could too. I watched it – I LOVED IT – and now I’m recommending it. If you haven’t seen it – you should. In the words of the dad from this session, “it’s the best children’s movie I’ve seen of all the movies I’ve been forced to watch over the past 6 years.” It really, TRULY is. So, to R and her rockin parents, thanks for the tip! I loved it!

On to the pictures.

I love that it’s fall and I get to break out my cool hats…

I love the coloring in this.. the morning sun, the slight change in the fall leaves – they said they never had really good wedding photos, so I had to give them something, and I really think this is something striking.

Lastly – I have no idea if this IS little miss R, but I love it anyway. She is so serene, and contemplative… and I don’t know why exactly, but this one draws me in.
