Flower Child | Senior | Fayetteville, NC Photographer

I always enjoy photographing Joy. She just knows what to do and puts up with our little group of photographers' playful bickering and teasing. This shoot was super fun because I think we giggled more than what we photographed -- or at least that's what I did. (I also had both of my boys with me so it was quite the task at hand, especially since my eldest wanted to keep photobombing the portraits. Where's a rope when I need one?) ;) -- I kid ... 

The shots above both have a story behind them. The pedal one: Joy was in the tree when the

wind began to blow and knock the pedals. We all LOVED that so we started shaking the tree to get the effect we wanted. Apparently, our photog friend, Will (www.darkroomportraits.com) was the better tree shaker and Tysha (Tysha Hallman Photo) and I got the better shots out of it. ;)

The Dandelion picture: Joy kept trying to get the timing right to blow the seeds out but Will was shooting with a film camera and when she tried to do it she blew a seed right into his eye. We were still giggling about it in this picture and I of course snapped the shot. Joy rarely smiles for the camera.

The above image is so freaking cool. Not only did my helio 35mm lens made the background super fantastic, the dandelion seeds make the image come to life. Again, Will was the better seed blower ... lol

I mean come on, who doesn't wanna photograph Joy? She is awesome. Thank you for putting up with our shenanigans! And your momma too (Ms. Marsha has to listen to all our craziness too! haha!)
