The “Y” family…so glad we got together this morning! The lighting was beautiful, the kiddos were happy and the family just looked great! Who could ask for more? Special thanks to mom and dad for their extraordinary efforts to get these gorgeous smiles – well worth it!!

The “Z” family…By far one of the happiest little girls I have ever met.  She smiled the entire time!

The “V” family…I had a lot of fun with this sweet family. Dad had a few funny tricks up his sleeve to get the kiddos laughing!

I can’t believe how much they have grown this past year! With all of my client sessions stacking up, I thought I had better start taking my Christmas photos while I had the chance. Scott and I took the boys downtown for a quick mini shoot. Once the leaves turn, we’ll do a mini at Elmwood too. Here’s a little sampling of downtown…

Klaire & Grace…

Darby & Corgan…

Baby Colin & big brother Jack…

The B Family…

I had the pleasure of photographing another set of twins today! There is just something so magical about twins, and these two were no exception. Their happiest moment of the day was sitting on a little bench, holding hands and giggling! I think they kind of like each other ; )

We loved the photos of the girls so much, we decided to go back and get some of the boys!

I get all teary-eyed just thinking that they start preschool next week, but at the same time I am very excited for them! They talk about “school” everyday and wake up each morning ready to go! Then I have to break the news that they aren’t going until next week. To make up for not going to school today, I promised that we’d go to the park (I brought my camera along just in case). They absolutely HATE having their pictures taken, but every once in a while I can get them to both look and smile ; )

This is what happened when I asked Nolan to give his brother a hug!

As a mommy of twins, I have to admit that I get a little excited whenever I get the opportunity to photograph twins. Grace and Klaire remind me a lot of my boys in that their little personalities are completely opposite! They were so happy this morning, and we got lots of great shots!
