What I Was Trying For

When this lovely family got out of their car, I had to admit: This was the look I was going for.

With my own family, I mean.

I was thiiiiiiis close to buying the stripey dress for my own three-year-old for our 2009 family photo session, and instead I bought another outfit with the same color scheme. I tried to dress the rest of us around it, but when I saw these guys, I realized that I had missed the mark. And they had hit it.

They looked awesome. Even if this particular shot doesn't showcase the outfits.







We got a bunch of different images, with a little bit of extra focus on little Miss S, who worked it with a wardrobe change (and then changed back when I asked if we could squeeze in one more all-kid shot). She was a trooper for sure.





They all were, actually. Seriously, would you expect this from two five-year-olds??



Finally, I can't resist posting this shot of L and her dad. I am a sucker for daddy-daughter moments, and this I caught this one as we were winding down. Doesn't this inspire an "awwww..."?



Thanks, guys, for the fun session. Glad we were able to soldier through the unseasonable heat!
