These kids are just about my favorite kids to photograph!  August is quite the character and his sister is such a sweetie.  It was really hard to choose which pictures to put on my blog…

The first time August came for pictures I got exactly one picture of him.  He did  not want his picture taken and wasn’t too sure about it all.  He reminds me so much of my Ethan…it takes him a while to be okay with new situations.  Well by the 2nd session with August he was cracking me up and he did awesome!  Now this is the 3rd session and I absolutely love this kid. He makes me laugh a lot!

What a little sweetie pie…she wasn’t too sure this time about pictures so we just played until she got more comfortable and once she did she was a photographer’s dream!

August and Ruby’s mom, Roxy, gives me a lot of feedback about what August says and does at home and I love her stories.  I’m going to share a few of them on this blog.  After our previous photo session this is what she wrote…”I thought perhaps you’d like to know that Ruby and I had to have a photo shoot in the laundry room tonight.  August got a big crayon box and taped it shut so the “film” (crayons) wouldn’t fall out.  (How he knows about film, I’m not certain!)  He focused through the crayon sharpener hole and we had to sit here, move here, stand here, etc.”Like this, Mom.” . . . he took photos down on his knees and also sat on his “camera case” (a small cooler) that doubled as a chair.  (And a handy spot for a few extra Legos!)  He was so funny, showing us the pictures on the back of the box and commenting on how our hair looked and how funny Ruby’s face was.  What an imagination!”  

She wrote this to me after the last photo shoot as well.  “…And I’m supposed to tell you “hi” from August.    (Whenever I’m on your site, I’m directed to go to the page about you and August just stares and giggles.  I think you have a new friend.)

Ruby LOVES LOVES LOVES her blanket so in between a clothing change I snapped this one.  Her mom says this is how they see her a lot of the time…

Isn’t this dress the cutest thing?  I asked her where she got it thinking after they left I was going to go online and get one for Izzie.  Well…Roxy sewed this dress.  She is so talented!!  It’s a one of a kind!  Izzie’s mom can’t sew…at least nothing that requires precision!

Ruby had the cutest bunny ear jacket too…

And I love the storyboard because I’ve been waiting to use this saying… and I got this email from Roxy after posting these pictures…”Holy moly, girl!  How am I supposed to pick?!?!    I didn’t think I could have more adorable pictures than the last photo shoot, and yet . . . here they are, better than ever!  And then you set the slideshow to one of my favorite songs and I end up bawling all over and into my computer.  Korey says we’ll just get one of everything.” 

Thank you Korey and Roxy for making the trip from Paxton yet again!  I thouroughly enjoy your children and I love the stories you tell me about August.  He is quite a kid!
