ryan *cotton picker/corn thrower/hay jumper pro

you might remember at the fair when i introduced you to ryan - he was playing in mud puddles and being adorable.  well... his mama contacted me right after i shared those pictures with her to ask me about doing fall pictures of her little boy - and that is how i found myself hanging out with this cutie and his mama on this BEAUTIFUL sunday afternoon.  we played in corn, cotton and hay, climbed on tractors, picked out pumpkins and ran all around darden farm in smithfield.  get ready to fall in love:

light! the gorgeous gorgeous light!!

ok. seriously.  can we say model? this needs to be in some sort of jeans advertisement.  children's levis maybe? i don't know.  i'd buy them.  and i don't even have children.

i just love him :) can i keep him? please?

ya'll come back now, ya hear? :)

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!
