The Bucknam's {Southlake Family Photographer}

Awhile back I did a very unconventional IBY photo shoot-a school fundraiser where I was the photographer--the inside, under fluorescent lighting photographer. I was needless to say not perfect and definitely out of my element, but I had fun and the pictures turned out good--for party pics. Well, an up-side to the event was that I got to meet a lot of new families; including this next one. This session was just a bonus all around...well, almost. Getting to that in a sec~
A new fun family, a little bit older girls than my usual toddlers: older=a little more structure+listening+fun shots that may turn out fairly close to what I am envisioning in my head, and a new location that Dana found for me with next to perfect lighting! Natural light photographers are ever in search of the "perfect light". It doesn't happen in every session, and for me over this first year, it has taken a little time to learn how to see it/find it/capture it. Well, I found it this time. It just came with a price...MOSQUITOES! I'm talking tons of them. If you look hard enough I bet you can see them swarming around this family in their pictures! I am literally shocked that we have as many great images as we do based on the # of shots we didn't get because someone was getting eaten alive while I clicked the shutter! It was terrible-the mosquitoes that is. I don't know about them, but I had trouble sleeping that night just feeling like they were still all over me! Anyway, I'll use this spot again, but not without my insect repellent--and lots of it! Other than that, I had the best time with this family. Caroline and Molly were just delightful to hang out with. Caroline with her spunky personality, and Molly with her gorgeous smile just made my night. I hope I can get back to this post again with more pictures of the girls because I had the hardest time picking out which ones to post here. Enjoy your peek Bucknam family!

For the rest of the weekend I am going to be taking a break from blogging so that I can finish up all these proofs, but will resume again on Monday for another week of sessions! Maybe I'll have time to post a few of my favorites that didn't get blogged!
