Today's feature session was a gift session that was purchased as a Hanukkah gift for her sister-in-law by a client of mine from last December. The pictures were to be of her brother and sister-in-law, and of her daughter, Talia, whom I'd photographed before. Here's Talia back in December, showing off her awesome MMA moves to me.

It definitely doesn't make for the nicest of outdoor photos. Fortunately, I'm a lifestyle photographer, and indoor lifestyle shots are part of what I do!

I have to say that of all of the sessions that I've done so far, this was definitely the most unusual. In a VERY good way. Rochelle and hubby Mark had an AWESOME sense of adventure, and were up for having fun. And fun is what we had! Talia gets along GREAT with Rochelle and Mark, and it shows. I think that this picture speaks for itself.

And her's a final one to leave you with. I really love this one. It's very artsy.

It was so much fun to hang out with and photograph Miss Talia again, and to meet her awesome aunt and uncle. They sure added some kick to my Saturday afternoon!
