Portraits

Kids portraits are a fun thing to do.  They are so full of fun and most of the time they are happy little people.  Other times, not so much.  In my opinion, my favorite kids portraits are ones that are done on the spur of the moment.  The kids get less anxious and less "picked on" by the adults.  A couple times a year I just pull out my camera and tell my kids that we're taking some pictures.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... but I get their best smiles that way.  Here's my most recent one.  Not much by way of a portfolio piece (I didn't even do their hair or have them wear their shoes), but it sure shows how genuinely they enjoy each other and how often our photo sessions end in a wrestling match.

It started out as a way to show Sammy's cute new (second hand) suit.  It's his first full suit.  Very, very handsome.

Then Ada wanted to take some pictures.  So cute.

Then they wanted some pictures together.

Which turned into this....

and then this.... 

and then this....

That's how I got this.
