Neel & Tara

Photographing young siblings can be such an adventure!  Neel and Tara gave me a workout, but it sure beats a treadmill!

When you have an older sibling around 3 and a younger one around 1 1/2, the older one frequently is very accommodating to mom and dad’s request to put his/her arm around the younger one.  It may start like this…

But it always ends like this (usually in mere seconds)!  Those little ones are so independent and not always so excited about the excess love and restriction they’re receiving.

I’m pretty sure this is when I’m telling him if he looks hard enough he’ll find Thomas the Train inside my camera.

It was such a fun afternoon that I hear Neel keeps asking when “Aunt Kelli” will come over to play :).  That just melts me!

Seth & Evann

Many of you should remember Seth (I still get comments on “the chubby baby making all the funny faces”)!  Thank goodness he didn’t lose too much of that chub yet.  Love it!

This time I got to photograph his beautiful sister as well!  I adored her room.  Isn’t she beautiful?

Seth was not fond of being clothed that day, but I thought this shot of the two of them was darling!

The A Family

The A stands for Awesome.  This was one of the easiest families I’ve ever photographed!  Start off with a few knock-knock jokes and you can’t go wrong.

I swear, John must have a calling as a gymnast or a dancer.  Look at that form!

When the younger kids get tossed up at a shoot, inevitably the older ones want to try it out too!  This was one of the best 7-year-old tosses I’ve seen yet.

I loved everything they were wearing.  Jacob was so handsome!

Can’t you believe this cuteness??  Grace was so adorable.

The tie kills me.  I love it!!

This is an example of what a small world we live in.  Terri used to get her hair cut in Utah by the same friend of mine that cuts my hair in California!  Now we both live in Houston.  So crazy!

R Family

The R family is new to Houston and Rachel wanted a spot that contrasted the desert (Arizona) they’d moved from.  This was a great little park we shot at!

Isn’t Annabel stunning?  I love the way the wind is blowing her hair back.

I have two nephews the same age as Jacob and it’s so sad how quickly they’re growing up!   Before long they’ll all be too big to jump into mom’s arms :(.

Annabel can laugh on demand (this next shot is an example of that).  So crazy cute!

After the kids got their chance on dad’s shoulders, Neil thought it was Rachel’s turn.  She protested going up a bit :).

Welcome to Houston!  Hope you find reasons to love it while you’re here :).
