Meet The Collop Family!!!!

I was really excited and nervous for this inside December shoot.  You see, I'm pretty much an outdoor photog.  I haven't had enough experience with indoor shooting to feel like I have an indoor comfort zone, so I was very nervous.  Luckily I have a very good photoging friend (yes it's Lisa), who gave me the idea to shoot in St. Charles at The Foundry, and I ended up loving the backgrounds and the lighting it granted us!!!

The Collops came to me via the "Grandkids" Shoot (thanks for passing my info. along Kathy :).  Not only are they a beautiful family, but they were wondrous to shoot as well.  Isabel has done some modeling, and knew exactly how to contrive magic in front of my lens, and for a 3 year old, Michael was a little charmer.  Oh, and their parents were as nice as I could have asked for, and welcomed whatever I suggested - I LOVE people who are this great to work with :)

I also loved the fact one of the kiddos looked exactly like Mom, and the other kiddo looked exactly like Dad.  Observe for yourselves . . .

Dear Collops,

I can only say the most positive of things about you :)

What a sweet and beautiful family you are, and how I will look

forward to the day I get the pleasure of shooting you all again!

Best of everything for each of you, and I hope 2011 brings you the

changes you are seeking, Emily ;)

Hugs,

Kelly
