Brown Family Portraits

This was a special shoot for me - my first non-family/friend portrait session. They had won a free session at Greenhouse Preschool's Desert Auction (as well as one of my Busch Stadium prints!). It was my pleasure to work with this family. So energetic and fun and even with a hot afternoon, the kids were still easy to work with - as long as we saw the animals! :D

Willoughby Farms in Collinsville is an amazing place for pictures. I was shocked by all the things they had set up, including the animals for kids to see. There was even a playground to play on. I definitely want to go back on my own and venture around and check it all out. I made sure to get there a little bit early so I could check the place out - since I had never been before! I picked out a few different spots I thought would be great for photos. Then as we were taking pictures other opportunities arose - like the playground (I had ventured that far back).

Here's a few of my favorites from that day!
