Toddlers are one of the many reasons I think being a photographer is so fun.  Handsome Charlie was no exception and I am always up for the challenge!  I get to act a fool in hopes that I crack a smile and compose my image, all in a matter of seconds!  Because as we know, kids can go from smiles to stink eye, and back again, in a flash!  (See what I did there?!)

Remember what I said about "in a flash" - yep, and off he goes...

Little sister Frankie is a doll baby, I LOVE the furry vest, booties, and all that pink next to dad's plaid!!

Got the smile with mama!!  Whew ;-)

These moments are the best!

Because not all family portraits need everyone looking in the same direction and smiling at the camera.  Smiling with each other and freezing that moment in time is even better!

And big brother, Phil, got in the mix - he is the ultimate guard dog and protector of his humans.

Thank you SO much, Ryan and Marie, for the opportunity to capture these memories for your family.  I hope you love your images so far!  More to come ;-)
