This afternoon, I had the pleasure of spending a fun-filled photography session with Sydney (or Syd, as she prefers to be called) while we tested out the newest portrait set and costumes to arrive at Sunflowers Photo.

Syd (and her parents) graciously offered to help me out with a dry run of the new seaside experience portraits, and I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful volunteer. She arrived with her hair in perfect ringlets and was eager to put on the  costume to show me her best mermaid impersonation. As you can see, it was fantastic.

I can understand Syd’s enthusiasm. It’s always exciting to get a new backdrop. Since the new ocean scene backdrop arrived at the studio a few weeks ago, I’ve been fluttering with new ideas to bring to all my favourite people – my clients.  And, now that there are new handmade costumes (mermaids and vintage sailors) and props to go with it,  it’s time to unveil the newest portrait option.

I am so happy with all of the photos, and had a very difficult time trying to decide which ones to share with all of you.

Thank you, Syd, for making my afternoon so much fun! In fact, I enjoyed this session so much, I’ve decided to make it my summer studio special.

Nearing the end of their session Mike asked if I could do a pose with his baby girl and the tattoo on his chest. I said certainly and to my amazement it was an incredible piece of art in ink….an image I had taken of his wife, Carla holding their son on his chest over his heart. How amazing is that?!

I was reminded of how my imagery as a professional photographer can impact a person’s life, how I captured a moment in time that Mike wanted to honor with permanence on his body. Wow, I feel truly privileged! Thanks Mike and Carla for trusting and allowing me to capture your children, your Legacy of Love.
