Summer!

My little girl Summer is pretty challenging to catch and take a photo of. That is, if you can get her to wear something besides just underwear and a black cape first.  Her favorite activity is running through the house in just her cape and singing “Let it Go” from Frozen at the top of her lungs.  It is pretty entertaining actually.

Well I wanted to take some nice photos of all my kiddos and I knew I would have to make it short and sweet.  Just a few good ones and then I would be done.  Amazingly enough Summer saw one of her older sister’s dresses that is too small now and said “OOohhh pretty!” She then put it on and proceeded to have a great time in it and I got to catch some of it on camera!  😀

 

I’m in love with black and white lately and this series was just perfect for it.

Olivia’s Young Women’s Medallion

In my church there is a program called Personal Progress for young women from 12-17.  It is hours of service and character building challenges that adds up to about the same amount of work as an Eagle Scout is for the boys.  When they complete it they get a medallion to wear.  It is a tremendous achievement and Olivia earned her’s super early. Most girls get theirs when they are 17 (I’m pretty sure I only had a week left before my 18th birthday when I finally finished mine) and Olivia completed her’s at 14! She is 15 now and she is such a jewel and I’m so happy to know her.

Lynn and Dwayne

Here is a sweet couple I was able to take photos of on their wedding day.  It was a small gathering of really good friends and family and it was wonderful to be a part of. Thank you guys for letting me help capture this day!

 

 

 

The Glick Family

Highlights from the Glick family! These guys were super fun.  Lots of personality and the little ones were SO well behaved. Thanks guys!

Giles Family Session

As my first post on my official Wendy Spinelli Photography blog, I am so happy to show you some shots from the Giles family!  We went to this new spot I hadn’t tried before and I LOVE it! It was a great break from the usual (but still pretty) greenery I usually shoot around.

I know most parents would be frustrated that their kid isn’t giving the perfect happy face but I have to say I LOVED this little cutie’s attitude. Maybe it is because she reminded me of my little girl’s ‘tude too.
