kristen | hampton roads backyard portrait photographer | caitlin elizabeth photography

pop-pop lets kristen and me go through the revolving doors of the bank first, each of us holding scarves tied around $5 worth of pennies.  we are eager to cash in our earnings, and when we hear his loafers squeak onto the marble tiles we each hurridly take a hand and walk to the teller window.  she has our suckers ready - kristen gets yellow and i green, but before she lets kristen slip hers from the counter she asks from behind the golden bars:

'darlin, where'd you get that set of curls?'

my sister quickly quips: 'JC Penny's' and slides her sugary confection from the counter-top.

no, she didn't really get her beautiful hair from Penny's (she had gotten a hair cut that day at the salon though), but she did have quite a head of hair.  thankfully she can brush it on her own now and MAN what a STUNNER she has become.

ya'll are in for a REAL treat - not only do you get to feast your eyes on some gorgeousness (seriously, this chica is breathtaking) but you get to check out my madd styling skillz (that's right, styling, hair and make-up by yours truly <--which i feel like is quite an accomplishment, since if it were up to me i would inhabit sweatpants for approximately 100% of my existence).

BUT, before you meander through the following images - know one thing about miss kristen (and this may be the reason i love her the most): 

she has absolutely no idea how beautiful she is.
  
and with that, i give you kristen :) *she is currently taken fellas, but i have an application you can fill out for a chance to be put on the waiting list to be her beau ;)


these were some of the very first images we took - i knew my job was going to be easy!


the top right expression = really caitlin? you're going to have to try MUCH harder if you're going to get me to smile.

challenge. accepted.

maddie *little miss thang

oh maddie :) this little girl is a SPITFIRE and i love her. she has such a big personality!! she wanted to wear her cowgirl boots for her photoshoot, so she borrowed her grandfather's hat and we headed out to one of the many local farms. her daddy also likes old cars, so we asked Mr. Proffit if we could shoot on his land, which he has decorated with all sorts of old-timey goodness. prepare yourself for the sass that is about to ensue!


such a cutie!

love this one :)

she likes vogue-ing


one of my favorites!

serious face again

framing!

by this point she had gotten more comfortable, so her personality started showing <3

yyeeeeaaaaaa hhhaawwww!

this is maddie: big grin and hair in her face! i kept pausing for her to get the hair out of her face, but she said 'hair in my face, that's just me' and she was right. it's perfect miss maddie :)

alright. here you go papa. the old timey truck. maddie's mama said that he was gonna pay more attention to the truck than to maddie!



poor thing had to take her boots off because they were giving her blisters - she's a trooper though

ooohhhhh hheeyyyyyyy maddie :)

love this one too


crazy kid - i think by this point she was thinkin 'alright miss caitlin, stop askin me to do such ridiculous things'


we played in the dirt :)


these boots are made for walkin...

yes. yes. yes!!



miss maddie - i hope you enjoy these. i had so much fun with you and your mama!
