oh otto, how can you be one?  i barely recognized you when i saw you this time.  you have grown into a little boy and my oh my are you pure sweet.  and max, you melt my heart.:)  you and your brother otto are clearly such happy little boys.  so many smiles to share with me.  i am so sad that this family has come to the end of their baby plan.:(  i have loved getting to know all of them so much and adore these sweet little boys.  s family, you have always been so easy for me to photograph…you are just naturally so engaging and loving toward one another.  it really is wonderful to watch your family interact because it is very clear how much love flows around your family.  🙂  i will miss seeing my little pals otto and max every six months and mom and dad too.  xoxo…hope to see you again soon.

will, michael & sweet kate…

adorable children…so sweet and well mannered.  such a beautiful location for photos…we had so much fun!   i love when i get the opportunity to photograph children that are a little older.  they are full of stories and questions and wonder.  love that.  and, you can usually learn a great deal from kids…like don’t put silly putty in your pants pocket!  ha!  🙂  thank you sarah and bret for trusting me with your kiddos!  more photos to come soon!
