We are excited to work with Blakely and Gavin once again! Woodstock Photographer Mike Moreland has been with the Scheib Family since before the time of Gavin’s birth, capturing all of the shining moments along the way. We are telling the wonderful story between the handsome Gavin and the sweet Blakely. The focus of the shoot was on Blakey turning 2, but the bond between brother and sister quickly took over. The private location of Magnolia Pond spans over many rolling green acres, with fields of hay and secluded, quiet ponds. Keeping in mind that our goal was for the kids to be kids, we focused on allowing for as many candid moments between them as possible. This adventure’s first stop took the brother and sister to a lovely straw field where we captured Blakely playing and dancing, her curly blonde hair shining like gold in the sunlight. Gavin rushed onto the field in jealousy, wanting to have more of his pictures taken, making Blakely laugh and squeal with delight. Blakely blew on some dandelions, giggling as the seeds drifted into her brother’s hair. Walking along the gravel roads we found them sharing a moment, holding hands and talking as only brother and sister could do. This moment was short-lived however, as Blakely started stamping her feet while Gavin was taking his turn. Their walk took them to the docks of a still, green pond where we captured Blakely against the reflective waters in her flowing yellow dress. Finally, we met up with dad where the kids monkeyed around, climbing all over him as we photographed them in their natural habitat together. The Scheib’s are incredible to work with, allowing their kids to be themselves and roam around in amazement as only children can. Seeing them grow up together as a family over the past 5 years has been beautiful, with Moreland Portrait Photography perfectly capturing these moments of pure bliss.
