The Payne Kids

November 15th, 2009

Things I loved about this shoot:

1)  Awesome, fun and stylish kids!

2)  They actually listened to me and took direction!  8 and 10 are awesome ages for pictures!

3)  They enjoyed getting their pictures taken!!

4)  A brother and sister who really like each other!!!

I had been looking forward to Hunter and Cameron’s shoot for a long time.  Their mom, Hillary, told me they were like Hansel and Gretel.  Always together and they really, truly enjoy being with each other.  I love working with kids of all ages, but it’s really nice to work with kids who are old enough to take direction.  And not only that, but kids who also really like getting their pictures taken.  I don’t know what Hillary did to make her kids so great, but I’d love for her to give me a few lessons!  If I decide to have a second (which is never going to happen so don’t hold your breathe!), I would love for them to be as close as Cameron and Hunter.  You can tell that Hunter is such a protective older brother.  And Cameron just adores him.  It was so much fun capturing their unique relationship!  Here’s the slideshow!

    Excellent job. The fact that these two siblings are so close is very refreshing to see. That love and bond really comes across in your photographs. The colors are beautiful too.
    Love the cross eyed silly first one a lot too. They’re all so fun.

    Drew, these are AWESOME!! Love her outfit. You are right, it’s rare that kids actually like each other, but you can tell that these two ADORE each other. Great job, as usual :)
