Three years old and such the willing model, taking pics of Kira is like a breath of fresh air. She was cooperative, willing and even excited about having her picture taken. It was pretty easy to get the smiles out of this one, even when our shoot ran into dinner time. Ahh, thanks Kira! We have to do this again soon!

Little Aubrey. Sigh, she is simply gorgeous. Beautiful blond hair, skin like a porcelain doll and you can't help but stare when you see the sparkle in her eye. She made us work for the smiles today, but when she gave them to us - WOW! This little girl could be a model, I swear!

Short and sweet describes both Nolan and his baptism. His sunny disposition continued and the boy was cool as a cucumber for the entire service. Well, he wasn't too find of being held back for the water on his forehead, but as soon as he was back up, he was hamming it up for all to see. Then we headed back to the house for some yummy treats in celebration of Nolan's baptism.

Noah, out and about!

Just look at those eyes! This little guy was such a trooper today! We started our session outside with a breath of fresh air and some daffodils that are currently blooming. Spring is here! The we came inside and took some casual pictures before we hit the studio for some more formal poses. Noah didn't fuss a bit! Every time we talked about the sound the fishes make - blub blub blub, he was all smiles. Indeed, it was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

I know, I just took pics of Nolan last month. But this little chunk of pure love is the best model EVER! He sits so nicely and just gives you the biggest toothless grin ever and you just fall into his eyes. Seriously, he has that "love me" look down pat! We had to do some shots of Nolan with the best dog ever, his Duke. Duke is the worlds biggest cat in a dog body, whereas my cats are dogs in kitty bodies. Duke, the big bulldog who is supposed to protect his family is a giant mushball of love. He'll do anything you ask, which makes him a great photography subject. Put the two together and whoa... watch out! Needless to say, it was the best photo shoot EVER!
