I am so excited to share with you the winners of the South Magazine Greatest Kids 2016! We photographed the kids out at Hunter Cattle Company this year. What a beautiful place! Thank you to Kristan and her family for all their amazing help to make this shoot go smoothy ! (and to their wonderful neighbor who let us use her yard and and house as well ) The kids had a good time and got to visit with the animals and get some fresh air ! I wanted to use the natural light , so my assistant and I follow it all day! We are using only reflected light and available in all of the images. I am so happy with the feature!
Avery
Avery made my job easy! She was so sweet and followed every direction so well. That hair!!
Cohen
This little guy was all smiles! His daddy is in this shot too! He is in the truck holding him up. 
Emery
We had to keep this one busy doing things. I actually have so many good ones of him! This is the one they selected for the magazine. His daddy worked hard to keep him focused while I captured the moments. 
Hunter and Haley
Hunter was the star of the show this year in this family! While his sister Haley had a feature last year! The are both winners! We had so much fun! 
Jack
Such a sweet boy! His momma beautiful singing made him give us the smiles. 
Lily
In this picture I handed her an egg and she shook it. It said “oh no you are shaking the baby chicken! ” She laughed!! Love!
Mackenzie
This little one was so brave! We were in the middle of 40 or so cows!! It took a good bit for the cows to come investigate but when they did WOW! So cool ! They are so big!
Meadow and Jacob
These two are cousins! They are the farm residence! So very comfortable with the animals ! Jacob was not please with his skinny jeans this morning ! Thus the grumpy face. LOL! 
Mia
The theme of the issue is heath and wellness so that is why there is milk in this image. In another image there is a cat sharing the milk with her. 
Olivia
This one was ready for the camera! I took advantage of this cool backdrop at the neighbors house.
Paisley
I just loved working with Paisley! what a personality! she was dancing and singing ! I was blow away by her cuteness!
