Kids are the fountain of youth!

Many times we "adults" dismissive children because they are young and don't know anything nor have they experienced life. However it's because kids are young and inexperienced that they show us the world with honesty and innocence, and remind us how carefree we were before we grew up and had a relationship with Uncle Sam.

(I love this picture they look so quiet & innocent)



I being a kid at heart love sessions with kids. I love talking to them and asking them about the simple things in life, like what their favorite subject is and their favorite food.





Watching kids run around chasing each other and being entertained by something so simple as a bouquet of balloons is one of the things that makes my job, not really even a "Job".



I was very excited and nostalgic! I have known their mother "Cookie" since I was in forth grade. We didn't go to the same high school but that just meant we got to go to each other's school dances (and Bellermaine's too!). The day she met their dad I was there, as was I on their wedding day. Now many years later these two little ones are about the age we both were when we became life long friends: grade school.





The last picture I am sharing with you is a picture of my life long friend. It is a picture she may have forgotten she gave me a LONG time ago and her mom may be looking for it. And well here it is.



To my friend Cookie. Thank you so much for sharing your children with me and letting them help me stay young! I had so much fun I can't wait to do it again!! I love you.

Kids will be Kids!

Do you remember when your parents would dress you in your Sunday best around Easter time and take you to a photographer's studio. You would then have to sit in some lobby waiting, sitting absolutely still so that you didn't wrinkle your freshly pressed clothes before it was your turn. You weren't alone there were tons of other kids sitting there all looking around miserable wanting to go outside and jump, run & play.

Those aren't the Spring sessions I offer. I love to capture kids being just that KIDS! Most of the time it means lots of silly faces, running around, rock throwing and climbing trees with a few portraits that the grandparents will melt for.

These siblings gave me one of the funnest sessions ever! What do you think? Can you tell which one is shy?
