Family Photo Fun!

A few weeks ago my friend, and very talented photographer, Star came to visit. She, Lily, and I headed up to Virginia to visit our families and take some pictures. The main goal was a photo shoot with Lily and my two year old nephew, her cousin, Jesse. It was a bit of an adventure, but the photos we got are worth it!

After much debate we decided that the best location was my grandparents farm over in Shiloh. It really is beautiful and has many nice backdrops (white farmhouse, porch swing, old fence, barn, goats, horse, and lots of green!). The only problem was that Jesse was not in a mood to have his picture taken.

In most of the shots on the farm he as a bit of a scowl on his face. Lily, ever the ham (and too young to really know better) is smiling away. We did manage to get a couple cute ones of them separate, and maybe two usable ones of them together before heading out to get lunches and naps and try the photo shoot again.

Later that night, after everyone slept and ate, we did have a bit more luck. We were able to get some really cute shots around my mom's house and the boat docks. These are some of my favorites! (*You can check out the rest on facebook by liking Lil Paperia Photo. They probably look better the way Star has them edited, but I think square really works best for blogging...sorry!)
