Day Eighteen, Daily Photo Challenge

What a wonderful thing to see a mother and daughter getting along so beautifully! Brandy and her daughter, McKenna, came to the studio for a mother/daughter session yesterday, and we had so much fun. I love that they were willing to be silly together- to jump around and climb on each other's backs. Also, I love that they can hug, and hold hands, and kiss each other on the cheek. You can tell they really love each other, and it's great that they feel comfortable showing it! I can only hope that Thomas will still kiss us on the cheek in a year, when he hits his teens, and that Logan will follow suit. Brandy is obviously doing it right. She is one Mom that I will be able to turn to when I have a question about something. And McKenna? She's an awesome kid. Ahem, teen! One to be proud of. Keep it up, McKenna!

On a more technical note, I had so much fun playing with these colored gels! (Ok, I lie. They are just cheap colored plastic folders, lol). They really bring out the fun factor and liven things up. I particularly love the colorful halo effect on the upper right image in this collage. This was achieved by placing one of the flash units directly behind their heads (facing toward the camera). Love it! For more of my work (fashion, editorial, creative), you can find me on Facebook, or my website! I hope to see you there!
