a little time out for my own girls . . .

I’ve been so busy looking at other people’s kids, I decided it was time to take my girls out for a few. There is a spot right near my house that I’ve driven around so many times thinking about all the great colors and textures. I’ve always been just a little afraid that I’d be kicked out since it’s all private businesses. Today was surprisingly nice (rain, rain, rain, please go away so I can fit all these sessions in!). So, off we went to try to get a few holiday pictures! The girls were great. L did not want to cooperate for long, but I still got some good ones and G is the best daughter a photographer could ask for. Always willing to try anything and even coming up with some good shots herself!

Okay, back to editing! K Family look for something later tonight and E Family, yours should be ready tomorrow!

My beautiful niece . . . {my life}

Things have been a little quiet on the blog for the past few weeks, but not in my life! Things have been buzzing along and I have lots of sneak peeks that I’m going to share very soon. In the meantime, I’m so happy to introduce my beautiful niece – Miss P! Born 7/8/9 – how cool is that? Here’s a few from the hospital, many more to follow. If you want to see some more of her and you’re on Facebook, become a fan of Kathryn Pierce Photography or friend me : )

Without further ado . . .

My sweet girls {my life} . . .Image Overload!

It has been way too long since I dragged my camera around capturing my girls’ every move. With little Miss L at 2 1/2, she usually requires my full attention. But, I am hanging out at my mom’s for a few days and the girls would way rather Nana and Papa take care of their whims than mommy. So, I get to take pictures! I’m thrilled that I finally got a few that I love of L, she is usually running away from the camera.

I love that G and L get the best of both worlds. They are city kids with a Nana and Papa who live on a farm – and a real one at that – hogs, smells, bugs, snakes, tractors and combines. G is going through a little phase where she is terrified of the littlest bug and almost incoherent at big bugs or flying bugs. So, she hasn’t been outside much : ) Plus, it is about a million degrees in central Illinois. But, she was brave today and went swimming in the hot tub for awhile (no swim vest, daddy!), picked strawberries with her sister and did all kinds of other fun things. Papa drove the combine up to the mulberry tree so G could reach and L had so much fun in the strawberry patch pretending to take calls on her cell phone. We saw a big snake sunning itself and all in all, the bugs stayed pretty far away. I think maybe G forgot to be afraid for a little while. It was sweltering. The girls had sweaty, hot faces. But, they had a blast and we got fresh peas, strawberries, mulberries and carrots with dinner.

For all of you with summer sessions, you know how I’m always trying to convince you to do our sessions early in the morning or late, late afternoon? Check out the beautiful light in these images and you’ll see why!

last day of school . . .

Well, another year is under our belts here at the Pierce’s. We’re going to a new school next year, so it’s a little sad for us. We were lucky enough to be able to walk to school this year, which is kind of unusual in the city. G woke up this morning and just had to ride her bike to school. Daddy said yes, even though it meant he had to carry her bike all the way home. Since I started taking pictures for other people’s families, I have to say I’ve been a bit lax in capturing the milestones for my own family. As little G was on her way out the door, I managed to get just a few. It’s amazing how much they change in a year at this age! I am so proud of her.
