This is another one from Southport, NC. Mom fully knows the importance of everyone drinking enough water.

Here's a sweet little family at the water's edge. I had to combine a few photos to get the poses I wanted, but I think it was worth it. I love how the water looks green when it's about to wave. : )

Hunting Treasure

A lot of the people at the beach were collecting shells. This actually made it easier for me to take photos without them getting suspicious. These two kiddos were especially engrossed. I loved the gestures.

Here is group of bored teenagers in Florence, Italy - probably waiting for the rest of their group. I'm just happy to see they aren't looking at their phones!

Kailey Rose, Cam and Parker

 

NFS - 18x22in. - Oil. - "Kailey Rose, Cam and Parker"

The reference for this portrait was a challenge to acquire, as you might imagine with 3 kids this young. I picked two spots and shot about 10 million photos in 15 minutes - just held the button down. Then I gave them candy - always a hit. At home I combed through my haul and ended up combining a few photos to get one where they were all smiling and doing interesting things with their hands. The actual painting part went pretty smoothly, for some reason. I'm quite happy with it.
