Good thing I kept my day (night and every hour in between) job (being Mommy, that is) because getting (or attempting to get) portraits of Nikolas and Emalie was pretty much impossible. Guideline #1 of child photography is always have a second set of hands (and no, those being photographed do not count). How did I do it? Solo. Yep-- stupidly solo!! Guideline #2-- timing, timing, timing. I had intended to do their photos during Nikolas' week long fall break. I procrastinated and waited until the last day before school started back up when Emalie was getting over a cold. "A" for intention but "F" for follow-through! This 1+ hour with the kids was almost painful! Looking at the photos should make me smile, but I think these almost make me cringe at the memory. Ha ha!

| "Mom-- you HAVE to get a picture of this!" |
 |
| This is hands-down my favorite photo from the session. Isn't he handsome?! |
 |
| I do like this one, too! |
 |
| CLASSIC! Look at Emalie keeping her blocks from Nikolas (and her adamant expression) and look at Nikolas' expression of dismay/'whatever!'. I LOVE that they already act like siblings after only three months! |
 |
It didn't take long for the smiles and laughter to flow again.
He has such a way with her! |
 |
I love Nikolas' dreamy expression in this photo. He looks really entranced by her storytelling--
and it's funny to think that she doesn't even know how to read! |
The evolution of play.......
OK, so maybe they make me smile a little......!
