Sweet brothers take two!

I know I say this all the time but I just love my regular clients – the ones I see a few times a year and their kids recognize me and I get to watch grow. These clients are more than clients – they are friends and this family is definitely one of those families πŸ™‚ Their littler guy just turned one a couple of months ago and we caught him on a bad day when we tried to take his portraits – and while he is adorable smiling or not, I was sure we could get some happier shots so we decided to try again and I’m so glad we did. While we didn’t nail the both boys looking and smiling shot we got some great ones of each of them and a super cute one of them laughing together so I was happy πŸ™‚

Remember this little guy? Β I got a chance to hang out with him again a couple weeks ago and this time he brought his little brother with him πŸ™‚ Β They were just too cute together!

Telling secrets πŸ™‚

This week I watched this little beauty graduate from preschool – in just a few months she will be off to kindergarden and she I and I met when she was not even three – she came to my Halloween minis in an adorable ladybug costume πŸ™‚ I absolutely love watching my little subject grow up and change – it just makes me a little sad that it seems to happen so quickly.

Toes in the sand :)

I was initially supposed to meet up with these guys later in the summer when their little man was a bit bigger but they contacted me a few weeks ago and bumped it up because they were moving back to Michigan where they’re originally from. I’m sad that I won’t get to see them again but glad I got to meet this great little family and that we can keep in touch on Facebook! The little guy was not too sure about being brought to the cold beach but he did give us some great smiles once he warmed up to the idea πŸ˜‰
