During our pre-session meeting, Valerie talked about the horses she had while growing up. She then explained that her sister still had horses. Well I was all ears…because what’s more romantic than horses??? So we planned for their e-session to take place with the horses. But the night before their session, as I was laying in bed trying to pre-visualize the session ahead…something occurred to me! Valerie had mentioned that Patrick was into video production. And I always like to do something that includes the interests of my couples.
And it just so happened that I had been toying around with stop motion films with my daughters for the past few months. We made their stuffed animals magically walk and dance around their bedrooms and it was so much fun.
But not until that night did it occur to me that I could use these fun little films in a client session. So I had to think to quick about how to incorporate the stop motion into the session, I had less than 12 hours to gather props.
I knew I wanted to add Valerie and Patrick’s super adorable little baby girl into the session… so litterally 1 hour before the session I ran to Tractor Supply and bought horse figurines for her to play with and then dusted off all my scrapbook supplies to craft the little red hearts….and voila! Valerie and Patrick’s Stop Motion film was born.
Beware future clients….I’m completely addicted and will want to do more of these in the future…I’m just sayin’ 
Before I show you the film, I’ll share a few still images
**sigh** Wasn’t that a dreamy sunset. Sunsets make me happy. I think they make horses happy too. I don’t know about you, but I count 3 smiles in this next picture….
You know what else makes me happy? Feet
I think to myself everytime “this is my new favorite feet shot” …but I really think this time, it is!…until my next session anyhow, ha!
I’m anticipating November! Val is going to be a stunning bride!
I just adore this little family. I’m so grateful that they have chosen me to be a part of this special time in their lives!
And no e-session post would be complete without some bling
ok, I’m done…here’s the video
