My sister Megan and I planted a TON of flowers this year. We were skeptical at first about whether they’d work since we hadn’t tried wildflowers here before… but wow, did they grow! We now have two little wildflower patches overflowing with blooms, plus a longer stretch of flowers near the end of our family’s garden. And, knowing me, you’ll not be surprised to hear that I have taken tons of pictures. 😉
I’ve narrowed down some of my favorite pictures to show you guys today, including a goodly selection of macro photography. I hope you enjoy these bright and colorful beauties at the golden hour!
I hear tell it’s getting CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS. Do you think the rumors are true? XD Since it is still November, I thought I’d show you guys some last fall photos I haven’t posted yet before the advent countdown officially begins. I absolutely LOVE how some of these turned out, and I hope you will too!
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
Aww, isn’t this so cute?
“Oh, Carmen, you look creepy!”
*laughs* “Yeah, I meant to.”
So cute! ♥
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!
Yikes, better watch out for the thistles! O.o
Carmen found a hollow stump and wanted me to take pictures of her in it.
Her smile… XDHer creepy face again…
HA HA! This one’s one of my favorites. XD She just looks so relaxed and nonchalant. I don’t think she even knew her feet were that dirty. XDIt looks like she’s in a wooden bathtub or something. 😛
Okay, now these next few pictures are some of my favorites from the shoot!
I LOVE this one!
Dirt on her knee and a grin on her face. 🙂I LOVE THIS ONE! Isn’t it so fun when you can capture a moment of genuine, candid laughter?
“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
♥
Hee hee!
Bare feet. 🙂
I love this one too!
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!
