And The Winner Is…

I was very excited to start Addison and Sophie’s session. Their dad Danny had called a while back about getting his wife Eleanor a gift certificate to have their children come in and get their portraits made for her birthday. So Danny and I secretly played phone tag, and set up how the gift certificate should look, the message inside, etc. (Husbands, fiances, and boyfriends, I hope you’re paying attention…this is a birthday/holiday gift giving gold mine!)

Yes, in the beginning it’s easy to be still, but as a big kid trapped in an adult body I can understand the need to wiggle from time to time. So to keep us on track I started the competition of the century between this brother and sister duo. When they split up for their individual shots I informed both that I was keeping score and who ever did the best won a prize.

Oh and in case you were wondering…It was tie. Everyone got a prize.
