it is always a treat to get to know the families i photograph. this family lives down the street from me, but in the short seven months we have lived here, i had not met them. life gets busy and before you know it months fly by. i am so glad that our photo date brought us together. these children were as precious as could be. one was so full of life and smiles. another one who seemed so shy, yes had so much beauty and wonder through her eyes. and finally a little brother who took a while to warm up, but shared some adorable smiles and laughs with me before it was over...
