These two have the bluest of blue eyes! I've been photographing this family for a couple years now and I still get that "OMG" jolt when I look at their eyes. Mesmerizing.
We hadn't done a "beach" shoot yet so we decided: "Let's do the beach!" Well, that proved slightly problematic insomuch that neither child wanted their feet to touch the sand...... hahahahahaha!
Next year, NO beach. Also, dad had been gone for a long business trip so Maggie and Conor were particularly clingy and just not at all interested in being put down or separated from mom/dad in any way. So, we just went with it and I got a lovely collection of candid shots capturing the wide range of emotions we witnessed and then, finally, at the very end of the shoot, we we were able to get the much coveted, stellar sibling shots we didn't think were going to materialize. Wooohoooo! :)
Maggie was *slightly* apprehensive at first....
but dad managed to get a split second smile and I luckily caught it!
but then that was it for the stairs. So we moved on to a bright doorway. I LOVE doorways. And we had some fun here. :)
Then we hit the beach and that didn't quite work out with the whole sand situation... but I just LOVE this shot of Conor nuzzling dad and the sweet smirk on dad's face. LOVE.
mom and dad got their workout holding the kiddos! Conor is a very serious little boy and so when we were able to get a big smile from him it was such a treat!
I love playing around with different perspectives.
not feeling it right there...... I love this look though, I have a feeling this will pop back up during her teen years?!
I just love how his hair is all wind blown and he is doing the little pinky finger thing he does, so adorable. And, yeah, those eyes.....
Dad did a brilliant round of "this little pinkie went to market". Genius.
and then I found this adorable little spot and everything clicked and the kids were great and ta-daaaaaaa, it all came together at the end. :)
As is frequently the case, my very last shot taken ends up being my favorite one of the shoot.
