Paulina & Oscar. Delightful!

A Big Sister and Little Brother cuddle up for the camera

I hadn't even had my studio lights up and they were both seated, patiently waiting, on my backdrop floor. I knew right then we were going to have a fun!

An eight-year old with poise and elegance far beyond her years and the pure, lively spirit of.... well, an eight year old! Paulina is a natural in front of the camera!

Handsome Little Man

Now, I hadn't yet met Oscar but, as many of you know, his name automatically creates a connection between us. My son is 5 year old Oscar. Paulina's Oscar is under 2. He was the perfect gentleman. He obliged me with my camera and my (sometimes successful!) attempts to get his attention. Once I showed him the back of the camera with his image magically in it, he was more interested in the process and with the helpful big sister, I think we got some pretty memorable shots.

I have to, once again, thank this awesome young lady for the sweet ways she helped corral her younger, quick-moving brother. "Thank you Paulina!"

We stepped outside into an overcast and rainy day to get some lovely natural light portraits. Ahhhhh... family love!

Dominique, the mother of these two stunning children, was the winner of one of two Gift Sessions I donated to the Route du Lait Breastfeeding Challenge that was held in October. So many moms and babies turned out for the event to make it a total success. I am so happy that this family won and that I got to be a part of helping them create some memories. Thank you family!

enjoy the view,
