My favorite way to take children’s pictures is in a natural, outdoor setting. Not only is the light from the sun beautiful on their skin, but the kids can run around and be themselves.

Their mom and I talked before their session and we decided to include some of the boys’ favorite planes in the photos. I’m so glad we did because I really enjoy sequences like this, where you feel like you can jump right into the scene and join in their play.

This was a complete giggle-fest! Love their smiles.

Imagine these two, twenty years from now, all grown up. They’ll have these pictures to look back on and see how close they were at such a young age. Priceless.

I asked him to take his sister’s hand and lead her through the trees. He did so with such pride — I felt like this photo captured him, the brave and courageous big brother.

What fun we had! I can’t wait to show mom and dad the rest!
