The weather cooperated beautifully this morning and we were able to have our park session with Claire and Carter. Seems the threatening clouds scared everyone else away, and we had the place to ourselves! This time of year is popular at the park, and other photographers seem to appear from the underbrush…so it was nice to not have to juggle locations or keep away from other people today.
Of course, that being said, just as we were finishing up another photographer arrived, and I did the high school “Hi!” wave from across the park, thinking it was my friend Diana. She didn’t wave back, because she wasn’t Diana…it was a little awkward, but not unusual for my cool self (ha!).
Anyway, enough of the high school flashback…back to Claire and Carter:
Claire is missing a few top teeth, and Carter is your typical big brother…we talked about bodily functions, and a little Claire-bird told me he has a girlfriend (or at least a girl who’s a friend, ifyaknowwhatImean). We had a ball today!
We did a few variations on your basic leaf-throwing theme, and at the end I had them chuck handfuls of leaves right at me and my camera. Really fun idea, until I just now (three hours later) felt something scratchy down my shirt…and pulled out a leaf! My daughter said “Mommy! Dere’s a WEAF down yo’h shuht”. Try explaining that to your kids!
I have a feeling I’ll be digging out little pieces of the park all day long!

I’m picturing you waving at the strange lady and just realizing it wasn’t Diana! LOL!! It sounds like something I would do but I probably would have made a smuck of myself!
Awesome photos….love the bridge and leaves ones…..Hi Five having the park all to yourself…there’s nothing like that! =)

[...] Three years ago I had the chance to meet two very cool kids. Claire was missing her two front teeth, and Carter was just young enough to still be able to impress with my knowledge of all things boy. Fast forward three years. Those front teeth have arrived, and Carter is WAY hard to impress with my now VERY meager knowledge of all things 6th grade boy. But I’m still taller than he is, so heh. Their dad gets HUGE props for this…it was a move they wanted documented at their last session, and darn it if he didn’t do it again (though I’m pretty sure he meant it when he said it was the last time ) Love these kids. Love their ability to simultaneously torture, amuse, and embarrass one another. Is this what I have to look forward to? (Answer: YES).
