Fortunately for me I have some adorable live in models, so when I want to bust out the camera and have a mini photo session I can! Unfortunately, they are both under the age of 5 and I'm their mom so they don't always want to cooperate! But I just find them so darn cute and its true what they say, "Time goes by so fast". I want to remember every funny face, every laugh, every pout and every grumpy stare! My daughter actually loves the camera and will ham it up for about 10 minutes, then she starts demanding things such as my iphone or candy if I want her to continue to smile. My son on the other hand doesn't tolerate my picture taking shenanigans and just tries to get behind the lens so he can take a picture! I did manage to snap a few of him but a few is better than none! 

These portraits were taken in my house yesterday afternoon. I searched out the room with the best light and did a little rearranging. For these images I moved my bed right under the window and had my munchkins facing into the light. Doing portraits in the home helps keep kids relaxed and comfortable, and lets be honest, when it comes to photographing kids they run the show! Great pictures can be made anywhere, you just have to get creative!
