A Good Trade

Awhile back, my friend Tawanda and I were talking. She was in need of a logo for her growing photography business, and I wanted some family portraits. So we did a trade: a logo and business card design and some help customizing her blog for a photo shoot and a disk of gorgeous family photos.

About a month ago, we headed out to a great spot Tawanda knew of, just in time to catch the last of the fall foliage. Bert was a little fussy and I was worried that we wouldn't have any good shots but Tawanda captured a lot of great ones. Having a little boy only a few months younger than Bert, she knew just how to get his attention and kept snapping away. And besides keeping Bert happy, she put Keith at ease since his big complaint about having photos done was that he didn't want to sit and be posed and have anyone call him "cupcake."

Here are a few of our favorites, though I'm not showing you our very favorites since they might be popping up in a few Christmas cards...

Tawanda's just getting going on her blog (tawandafayephotography.blogspot.com) so feel free to check it out and contact her through there if you are looking for a wedding, engagement, or family photographer.
