{ WHAT TO WEAR } We recommend simple denim overalls or jeans and bare feet for this fun, farm-themed outdoor session.  As children will be sitting and standing in the grass and interacting with a live, baby goat, formal clothing is NOT suggested for this theme.  A favorite pair of boots, straw hat or pig-tails would work well, too!
Recommended ages 6 months (sitting up) to 6 years.
Sessions extremely limited - by appointment only - No Walk-ins!
Adorable live baby goat provided by our buddies at Buffalo Creek Farm and Creamery - www.buffalocreekfarmandcreamery.com

winston salem childrens photographers { Easter Mini Recap #2 }

 Winston Salem Children's Photographers | Fantasy Photography
 Winston Salem Newborn Photographers | Fantasy Photography

{ EASTER MINI HIGHLIGHTS } A quick post to highlight a favorite image of mine from each of the sessions we had from our Easter minis.  We had two sets - one was a fun, vintage mantel that I found at an antique store in Virginia - flaky, peeling paint and all - I SO loved the way it looked that I had to snatch it up (it was a steal for the price, too) - it will look great upstairs when we're not using it for sessions in our living space with a fun, mossy "S" for Smith, and maybe a statuesque bird figure, too.  Pinterest, here I come...

The lovely lace shabby bunting was created by our friend at Dinner Time Chimes - she is so creative and crafty!  The distresssed vintage chair was another antique store find for just $6!  We did attach some burlap to fill the hole of the mantel - I was torn at first about leaving it open, but once we covered it, I loved it!  Plus it was less sun that I had to fight with and try to balance ;)

Our second set was just simply hanging out in the grass.  At this time last year, we had bulbs sprouting, flowers budding, trees were blooming, our forsythias were open and in full bloom, and Spring was everywhere.  This year we had nothing.  Just brown-ness.  But, luckily, we had dead nettle making it's usual Spring appearance in the grass - yes, it's a weed, but it's flowery and colorful, so we embrace it!

I have to send another { thank you } shout out to our buddies at Buffalo Creek Farm and Creamery for letting us borrow the two fuzzy bunnies for the weekend. 
We SO appreciate it, guys :-)

winston salem childrens photographers { BUNNY RECAP }

Winston Salem Children's Photographers | Fantasy Photography

Winston Salem Newborn Photographers | Fantasy Photography

{ The Bunnies } have come and gone - they were super sweet and behaved quite well! 

I have to start off with a huge { THANK YOU } to Buffalo Creek Farm and Creamery for providing the fuzzy little critters for our sessions (ha, and the yummy fresh chevre cheese we had for lunch!).  I did have lots of inquiries about the bunnies being available for purchase - yes, the farm does sell their bunnies.  Just visit their website above or stop by their farm store and they'll be happy to talk with you about them!  Also, thanks to my amazing husband for all of his help and hard work chasing, wrangling, corraling and assisting with everything.  And I can't forget to thank Dinner Time Chimes for the shabby chic pastel lace bunting that perfectly coordinated with all of our little subjects' outfits! 

The week started with me tearing my LAST contact on Monday, placing a super quick order online to get replacements...and so hoping they would get here in time for our sessions.  I had to hang out nerd-style with my glasses all week while I waited.  Not that I have anything against glasses - but for me, when shooting, I just feel like I have tunnel-vision when I'm wearing glasses - I can only see straight ahead of me and they get in my way!  Just in time, they arrived halfway through our first session on Friday.  Saved!

Overall, we had 21 sessions over the span of two days of shooting.  25 children and babies in total, and two bunnies to rotate for the sessions.  We had lovely Spring weather, but some fierce winds - our set was triple strapped and tied down!  I was so impressed that we had ZERO no shows or cancellations this year - everyone kept their appointments and most showed up 15-20 minutes early!  My husband accidentally double-booked a session, but with everyone arriving early, we were able to work them in without getting off-schedule. 

{ HIGHLIGHT FOLLOW-UP } I'm getting sessions edited as quickly as possible and will post again with highlights from each session soon :)  I wanted to share a quick pic of the fuzzy sweetness in the mean-time.

winston salem newborn photographers { the "b" twins }


 newborn photographers in winston salem | triad newborn photographyWinston Salem Newborn Photographers | Fantasy Photography
{ MEET THE "B" TWINS... } Not one, but TWO cuties came to the studio for their newborn session on my birthday!  We had double the fun working with these little girlies!  Just three weeks new, these wee ones were both under six pounds and so super sweet to us!  Aside from a couple snack breaks, "W" and "A" dozed through most of the session :o)

  Multiples are always a blast to photograph!  The "B" twins are our second set of twin newborns that we've worked with, and we've even worked with a set of triplets - three boys!  It's so interesting to watch them snuggle, nestle and soothe each other!

I got to play around with some new furs, wraps and headbands that we just got in, and try out some super contrasting colors (like the teal and red hat combo below...I just how colorful it turned out!)
