farewell to summer...

I always look forward to sessions with older siblings. It seems to open the door to some creative opportunities that can be harder when you're chasing little ones around. I absolutely loved this session with the Adams' kiddos. We shot these pictures on the afternoon before school started. I'm not sure it was their ideal way to end their summer vacation but I can tell you that I for one had a total blast. And they were promised ten bucks each by their grandmother if they cooperated so all in all, I think everyone won.


I love these pictures of McKenzie and Ethan. They are very close in age and clearly have the love/hate thing going on. I did not prompt any of this sequence at all other than asking him to stand by his sister. Ethan is one photogenic kiddo. I love his serious face. Such a doll. And I don't even have to tell you how sweet she is...doesn't her smile just say it all?

One day they will all love each other and enjoy being close to one another. This day has not yet arrived. I think the ten dollars was necessary for these next couple. :)

Doesn't she look like a little surfer model? It's amazing how much people will pay for these kind of highlights...I love the way they all three have the same sparkle in those brown eyes. You can really see it in these next three.



I mean, seriously, could they GET any cuter than this? I think this would look awesome as a big canvas. I love their serious expressions...I can't believe I managed to get any without McKenzie smiling!
Thanks for a super fun shoot, guys!
