Kelly & Mia . Echo Valley . Chelan, WA

Kelly is known to many as a massage therapist and yoga instructor who is amazing at what she does!  However 100% of the time she is a mother, to the most gorgeous little blonde haired girl named Mia.  This was the first photo shoot I ever completed that was planned and not just me candidly taking pictures of people.  A few things I learned from this session include:

1. Children move very fast.  And I mean, very fast.
2. Give a child something to play with to avoid #1
3. The light disappears in a canyon much quicker than it does in an open field
4. A photo session can be a workout.  I have coined it the "perma-squat" aka, being in lunge/squat form taking picture after picture with an occasional push up.  Oh yes, feel the burn.
5. It's totally okay to trespass, as long as I have good intentions hehehe ;)
6. Just breathe.  Take in each moment.  And capture the energy.

Here they are, Kelly + Mia!
