{Railroad ties, a couple of adorable kids, and a furry friend}

This makes for a fun photo session! Today was gorgeous - the weather couldn't have been better for the first week of March (thankfully, since we had to post-pone this session once due to weather). These kids brought along one of their best friends - a cute dog named Riley. Riley is so special to this family and sadly suffers from severe epileptic seizures - so this was a very special photo session. I have a soft spot for dogs too so I was very excited about this opportunity. Hannah Grace was so good with the dog, hugging him and gently holding onto his leash, I couldn't resist sharing this photo of the two of them together.

And notice, we are on the railroad tracks. I know I mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't going to be shooting sessions on the track since I was warned by a police officer that it was 'illegal' to be on the tracks. Well, lucky for us, Hannah Grace & Ethan's father was there and he works for CSX and was even getting phone calls from the train yard warning us when a train would be coming. How cool is that?! While we were there 2 trains came by - I was in awe since I love trains and we were fairly close to them. And as one train passed us, I got an adorable shot of Ethan with a little prop I brought along. Can you guess what it is? No cheating by scrolling down.... ha, yep, vintage luggage - perfect with the little corduroy blazer he was strutting.

Watching the train go by...

Oh and what's says 'boy' more than paper airplanes? My son is so into making these right now I couldn't resist bringing one along today. And Ethan was in his own little world soaring it high and low, even making some killer sound effects.

Here's an image of Hannah Grace showing me some of her dance moves on the tracks. Too cute! I did an old film effect on this image...gives it a vintage, old time flair.

And I'll leave you with this close up of Hannah Grace - her eyes are such a beautiful contrast with her gorgeous long blonde hair. Luckly little girl...
