Stella & Yates

I got to meet two more of the sweetest kids today. I have been so lucky because all of the kids I have been doing sessions for lately have really made it so easy on me. I spent the first 15 minutes or so just kind of playing with Stella and Yates so that they could get a little more comfortable with me. By the end, we were looking for ladybugs together and Stella was bringing me flowers. Sweet girl! We really wanted to get a few cute ones of the kids together, since that is so hard - I especially can relate because Stella is 2 and Yates is 1 (just like my babies), and I rarely get a picture of my girls together. I think we did it though! I love this kind of session because we really just let the kids do their thing and I kind of followed them around. With 2 kids being so small, it is pretty much impossible to try and get them to "pose" for the camera. We would put them together and then just let them interact - which is how we got the fun jumping pictures. They just started jumping on their own. I appreciate how calm their mom was and how she didn't try and force them to do anything. That makes things so much easier! It was so great to see you, Meredith, and meet your two beautiful babies. I hope you love the pictures.

I love this one of sweet Yates. That little smile just melts me.

I bet her daddy has a really hard time telling those pouty lips and those big eyes no. I don't think I could do it.
