The other day when we had our little Labor Day adventure I did a rather cute photoshoot with my little sister Carmen, if I do say so myself. 🙂 I just love how the pictures turned out, and I can’t wait to show you guys!
When I saw all the pretty pink smartweed flowers, I knew they were just begging to be in a photoshoot. Heh heh. I asked Carmen if I could take pictures of her and after a few tries she reluctantly agreed… and then once we got started she didn’t want to stop. XD If you love photography and have siblings, especially younger siblings, a photoshoot is a really fun thing to do with them!
Ahem. And now for the pictures (and there are a LOT). XD

“Oh, Carmen, you look creepy!”
*laughs* “Yeah, I meant to.”

I took a lot of pictures with Carmen in the background because I thought the lighting and bokeh made it look lovely. 🙂
Oh my goodness, isn’t the setting perfect for these? The lighting… the flowers… ahh!

Carmen found a hollow stump and wanted me to take pictures of her in it.




Okay, now these next few pictures are some of my favorites from the shoot!



“Allison, you should take a picture of me bending down, like I’m finding something on the ground.”
Ha ha, so she wanted me to take a picture of her on that long, horizontal limb in the last picture, and I agreed. But we had quite the struggle to get her up there. XD I hung my camera on a branch and tried boosting her up, then letting her climb on top of me, and after several tries and much laughter we finally succeeded. XD




I forget if Carmen or I had the idea for these next pictures… I think it was me. Anyway, they turned out so cute!
She was a bit uncertain of how to pose without jabbing herself on the barbed wire fence, but she figured it out. 😉
And we shall end with another of my favorites:
There we go! I hope you had as much fun looking through the pictures as I did taking them. 🙂 Which was your favorite (if you have one)? Have you ever done a photoshoot with a younger sibling? This one was quite fun and if I started to run out of ideas, Carmen gave me an ample supply. XD
Thanks for reading, my dears, and have a lovely day!
