I have been working with this cute, adorable little boy since he wasn't even quite a year old.  I mean, look how sweet and little he STILL is, but how fun it's been checking in with him every so often and seeing how he's growing!  He is the sweetest boy, full of energy, and lots of love for his Mom. 

This time, he brought his whole family!  His little sister and his cousins as well joined us for the afternoon.  There is NOTHING easy about working with five young kids.  But you sure do laugh a lot! 

Little Miss Mackenzie is the hardest of this group to photograph.  She is a strong willed little girl and was having absolutely NONE of me OR my camera.  It happens sometimes.  I just backed off, didn't force her and figured she'd warm up to me at some point and I could get some sneaky pictures of her. 

I kinda almost had her for this shot, but nope.  She changed her mind at the last minute.  I so adore this shot, too.  Something about the simplicity of it.  I think, at this point, Mom had given up all hope of actually getting photographic evidence of her existence at this particular shoot. 

But then, her cousin picked her a flower.  And maybe, just maybe, she started to relax a little and ignore my camera. 

And maybe she even started to enjoy my camera a little bit!  I wanted to make sure Mom had at least one wonderful picture of her most elusive child.  I'm happy to say I got at least 3 or 4, but this one above is definitely my favorite. 

And, oh yeah!  The whole point of this session was to get ALL FIVE KIDS together, looking and smiling as a picture for grandma.  Well, it literally took me all session. 

Mission.  Accomplished.  I never back down from a challenge.

Thank you Chyenne for booking with me again.  I know you probably don't believe me, but it's always a pleasure working with you and your beautiful children.  And what a treat to meet the whole family this time!  And thank you to your brother and sister as well.  This was definitely a four adults needed kind of a session!
