She lives about an hour away, we have kids, and husbands, and crazy lives.  So when one of my dearest friends asked me to photograph her kids I jumped at the chance to see her!  Normally I would bring my kids so they could all play together but this time I wanted she and her family all to myself so I headed down South solo.

Let me introduce you to Eve

Here she is on the front doorstep to her beautiful home

And this is Alex

I’m quite smitten

 Every time I see this handsome boy I ask how did I NOT get one redhead in my bunch???

Not fair

Sitting still is not Alex’s forte’ but he complied for just a few seconds so I could get these two together.

He’s not quite walking yet but he can still get from one place to another with his own method…

It’s the most hilarious/cutest darn thing that you’ve ever seen

Then there’s Eve.

She made my job very easy since…well,she took charge of the whole shoot.

 This is a girl who knows what she wants

One minute she wanted to pose

The next minute she wanted to run…and run!

Pose

Twirl

Meanwhile Mom and Alex were flying high nearby

Then it was time to get Alex in his birthday suit – after all he was about to turn 1

Nothing like a baby in a tub

While Mom re-dressed little man Eve played hide and seek

Then Daddy came home for lunch

They don’t look alike or anything…

My sweet friend – my heart was full at the end of this photo shoot.  You have the most beautiful children, a clear reflection of the two of you!
