Natural Light Portraits

Last Sunday, I woke up early after the Buffett concert to take some natural light pictures with Cheryl's friend and neighbor, Erin. Turns out, she's got a speech degree and teaches a classroom for kids with Autism. She's wanting to start a photography business and asked for some volunteers. Photo op? Well, don't mind if we do! I'm not sure if she got any good ones or not, but I really enjoyed meeting her and she inspired me! These are the shots I took. I was really just wanting to visit at the time. But, she inspired me so much, I came home and took another 1,000 photos of the kids! Crazy! I gave you a few teasers at the end of this post and I'll post more in a day or so when your eyes recover from the massive quantity of pics I'm posting recently. :)
Suzy and Andy now play this adorable game where he waits for her at the end of the slide. Absolutely melts a momma's heart. I just can't tell you how blessed I feel that my kids seem to be such great friends already.
Here I am, baby brother!
Now, get out of my way. ;)
Here I come again!

I love the sheer joy and excitement in Suzy's face.
A few more little candids...



Then, here's a few more I took later that night and the next morning. Thanks, Erin for the inspirations! I FINALLY got the shot I've been trying for with my nifty fifty. Only took about four months... ;0
