Boys, mine, a castle, Scottish heritage.
It’s easy to photograph a girl in a pretty dress in any setting and have it be beautiful and magical.
But my boys, it’s not as easy with boys.
So a group of photographer friends trekked a couple of hours from Allen, Texas to a castle. I HAD to think of something different for my boys to go with a castle setting and keep it interesting for them – swords! My boys’ grandmother is Scottish with a full brogue and all. On a last minute whim I decided to sewn a kilt and sash for them, borrowed a couple of swords from a good friend and off we went.
It was quite hot, like very hot, and the boys had a blast swimming, diving, sliding, sword fights, fireside s’mores. It was a lovely way to kick off the summer!
And here is a little video story about the castle:

Elizabeth’s love of nature and volunteer work at a local conservancy keep her connected to the land, and always seeking new settings where she can capture the natural light, the beauty of the local fauna, and the candid and the magical moments of the families she guides.
