Rei and Emiko at the lake

After the last doll meet we had in Gastonia, Becca and I went to Lake Wylie for some photos with the girls. Manami was too full from all the food she had at the teahouse so she sat this one out in the car snoring. So I grabbed Rei and Becca got her Emiko and we started snapping!

 

Most of the photos of Emiko were taken by Becca and all the ones of Rei were taken by me. There's a few in there of both girls that I took too.

It was sunset when we arrived so the light was fading quickly. But we still got some excellent light in some of these.

By this time, Rei was getting tired and wanted to leave.

Emiko was still having fun dipping her feet in the water.

Heh, I almost fell into the lake leaning over to take this shot of Emi.

Emiko wanted to eat here but we had prior engagements at a Mexican place.

Rei figured that if she wanted me to leave, maybe she should show some skin to get my attention....

"Papa, I will show you more if we can leave now. Just head to the car for your reward...."

Sorry but if I had left, I wouldn't get such cool pictures as this!

"Whatever. I hope you did not plan on sleeping much tonight."

 

DSC_0923 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Please may we go now? This will be my last offer."

Emi shows up and decides that Rei doesn't need to stoop so low to get her way.

E - "Bad Papa!"

 

R - "Agreed..... bad Papa."

Then I got the cold shoulder from both of them. Hrmmpph...

Fine. We left just after but it was worth it!

Lovely pics billy! They all look so gorgeous! My favourites are the ones with the sunset in the bg.

 

I'm dying to find some where nice to take my girls for a sunset shoot. Working at night sucks though and on my days off theyve got me chained to the sewing machine heh heh

I looove sunset shoots! Just, my god. I always miss the sunset when I'm getting ready to take photos.

What a gorgeous setting and your pictures are wonderful! I can't wait until we have water around here that isn't frozen!!

Lovely girls and lovely pics!

Rei was really desperate to go back to show you some skin

Beautiful pictures , I wish I was staying near a beach or something ...wait , I am !

But it is not as beautiful as your environment and right now we still have a lot of snow

Was it that cold ? I hope the girls were okay and didn't get sick ...

Thank you very much! I liked the sun in the BG too. I do hope you can find some time and places to get some sunset shots soon! It's not always easy to get nice pics but if you keep at it, it will happen!

Yep, I totally agree! I don't get out to do them very often so I have to take advantage of it when I do.

Thanks so much! I hope everything warms up nicely for you so you can get some water pics!

 

 

Lovely girls and lovely pics!

 

 

Thank you very much!

Ha ha! Yes, Rei was a little cold and she was tired from being at the doll meet all day. Thank you about the pics! Heh, it seems everyone up north is having trouble getting Spring to arrive. I do hope things warm up and defrost for you soon! It wasn't too cold out there, probably in the upper 50's where we were. It got colder that night but nothing bad like you guys have been getting.

Thanks! I like the kimono colors too, one reason I chose it for her to wear.

Amazing setting for two beautiful girls, that second to last shot with the sunset is gorgeous.
