Easter Pics at Simmons Farm

Meet Buddy. Whoever came up with the whole "gentle as a little lamb" never met Buddy, a demon goat from some farm of the the nether regions of Tennessee! Nah, Buddy actually turned out to be alright! Saturday, my friend Marty and I shot some Easter pics on location at the Simmons' farm in Big Cove, Alabama. We had, I think, a total of 22 sittings for the day; and probably between 35 and 40 kids. By the end of the day, Marty, Buddy, and I, were absolutley smashed! Most of the kids really loved interacting with Buddy, of course a lot of them thought he was just a funny looking dog. We did have a few meltdowns; but out of those, almost every one of them recovered enough to have some good times with ole Buddy.





















This is me and Buddy taking a break and relaxing in the sun. It was a beautiful day!







This little man was ready! I really thought the lamb would scare most of the little kids; but it never phased this guy!






















I can't even remember this little feller's name; but he was so cute. I loved this candid moment I caught of him in deep thought!

















Yep, we even had some little bitty babies. Hayden (one of three Hayden's we had for the day) was just under a month old!












One of our few meltdowns. This is Morgan, my cousin's daughter. She didn't think too fondly of Buddy at first; but after a few minutes she loved him too. I just had to share this picture though because I thought it was hilarious!












This little fellow here was so sweet!













And this bright-eyed beauty is Harley! She is Marty's niece and is absolutely adorable!











Katie loved Buddy! She did such a good job for her shoot!
