I spent the last week in Tennessee visiting with friends and these two little ladies and what a week it was! 

The Smokey Mountains were absolutely gorgeous. Every morning when I woke up and walked outside the view was just surreal. It was really fun to go somewhere I haven't been before and see a part of the U.S. I haven't explored yet. 

I have known the girls for a few years now and my son requested that we go and visit with them, so we did. He had a ton of fun and it was really great to see the girls! I have been photographing the girls for about 2 years now and will continue this series changing it up over the time. 

I love the colors during winter. You can travel to another part of the US and it's 70 degrees out and that is a great thing, especially for a photographer who loves working with children. It's hard to capture this kind of photograph in the dead of winter in Buffalo, NY!  

Thanks again little ladies for hanging out with us! LIVE.LAUGH.PHOTO. <3 Ariel
