Child Portaits

The Seals Family

Being a photographer you can only imagine how unexcited it was for my children to hear me announce, one beautiful summer day, that I wanted to take their pictures. Trying to get them excited about taking more pictures I explained that these were "special" pictures for their entire family and that we would cherish them all forever, they were still not unenthused. Now, being a photographer I know many tricks to get kids to smile, giggle and laugh, but with my own children they already were well aware of these little tricks that I used in my sessions and I had to get much more creative. So, we went to a location that I knew would bring out the best smiles in them...grandma and grandpa's house. Then after a little play time in the backyard I brought out my camera and was able to capture some of the cutest images I have of them to date. They are so close, as brother and sister, and I was so happy that I was able to capture that closeness in their summer portraits. I know that our entire family will cherish these beautiful images of them forever, but it will also give them wonderful memories to look back on and always remind them how close they are as siblings.
