worst models ever . . .

just to let you know . . . bees make terrible models . . . these little buzzeres where in absolutely no mood to have me interrupt their work for pictures.  i actually had to shake the tree a few times to get them to fly to a new blossom so that i could find them again.  eventually, they went to another tree and i went inside.  

. . . . how she twinkles

more gorgeous eyes!

. . . absolutely amazing eyes!!!!

if you have followed my photography for any length of time, you will notice that i love eyes . . . i love the sparkle and usually try to make them the focal point of as many pictures as possible.  when i saw these eyes, it was like Christmas in march. . . . a great big present for me!  not only are her eyes layered with different colors and depth, but in almost every shot, the color changed! 

check them out

enjoy!

what do you do when you have a photo shoot with two busy boys who just want to climb and jump and play on tractors?
