Love these people.  Love the evening summer light.  Love their family interactions.  Sigh.

My lovely, dear sister and her family asked for a shoot to celebrate the girls 1st and 3rd birthdays this summer.   Yay!   Remember Mya one year ago?!   Time sure flies.  Part of the fun of this photography journey I’ve embarked on is that I get to do things like this for friends and family – give them a gift that I hope they will treasure and enjoy for years to come.  I said it last month with Lisa and Harvey’s pictures, and I’ll say it again – it is HARD to pick which photos to edit and display on here, because all of the pictures have that extra special “awwww” factor.   Ally and Mya are some of the prettiest little ladies around!   Okay.  Enough sap.  Must be my sis rubbing off on me (haha, love ya Reens!).

I have to admit, I was a tad concerned after this shoot that I wasn’t going to have a lot of variety.  I had a [borderline] migraine that night, and didn’t have the heart to cancel on them once again…  so I decided to brave it and go ahead with the shoot.   The further we got into the shoot, the worse my head felt, which therefore made me feel un-creative.  But,  I was worrying needlessly, we got an overabundance of great, different shots.  Phewf!

I know you’re dying to see them Reens, so I’ll get on with it

Mama and her “baby”…

I know this one is exactly like one I just did for a wedding, but Rianne was so gorgeous here that I just had to post it!

more lovin’…

Ta ta for now!
