Everyone warns you how fast your kids grow up but as I sit here and watch my little guy chase one of our dogs around the playroom, I can’t help but wonder how in the world is he is already TWO?!! Both Grayson and Gabriella have old sweet souls with a dash of silly. Throw in a developing wild streak for the boy and life is never boring! I certainly don’t want to forget a minute so even if it’s a snap here and there with hair sticking all over the place, I try to capture their everyday lives to hold onto these sacred moments of their childhood. You know the photographs … the ones that feel like a hug and bring you right back to that day! Ahhhh….

Annually (sometimes semi-annually) I do like to do an “official” birthday portrait session to mark their age and have to share friends and family. This year I decided to do Gabby’s 6yr and Gray’s 2yr old photos at the same time at a cool old train museum a great friend told me about. Holy cow!!!! Between the gorgeous available light pouring through the trains and these two beautiful faces, the pictures couldn’t make me any happier! Be sure to check out the end of the post for the hilarious outtakes!

 

Keeping it real !

Of course I blogged my favs but don’t let them fool you! I do not have perfect robot children who know what to do and willing wanted to have their photos taken rather than play and explore old trains lol!  Below are some of the raw doggy, real deal in between shots that give an inside view to how most of the session actually went lol ! Oy vey! Mommy needed an extra large cocktail when we got home! Shout out to my friend Christine who helped distract, entertain and kept everyone safe while I chased them around! Her little guy’s pictures will be featured on the blog soon so stand by! *Please note these images below aren’t edited much so be kind ; )
