All Smiles at Tempe Town Lake

It was an absolute blast getting to know this family. Their last name has the word "laugh" in it, and boy does it fit! The whole family was so happy and loving. I really enjoyed getting to know them... and secretly loved being able to make up silly words to interact with the boys to get them to crack up. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

The "P" Kids

These beautiful kiddos are who I'm calling "The 'P' Kids" (their last name starts with the letter "P"). 

They were a blast to shoot... I love the little competition between photographer and "model" that goes something like this: "you can't make me smile" "oh, but you know you want to" "no, I don't" "awe, come on, please don't smile!"... as a beautiful, genuine smile creeps up on his face. Too cute! I love this age... all ages, for that matter!!

End of Summer Fun

While out playing with my camera, I met up with my mom and her girlfriend (who coincidentally had her daughter with her). What little girl doesn't like to "model"? So in case you were wondering about the bathing suit & water.... this wasn't planned. Although I DO think it adds even more fun to her great personality! Hope this doesn't make you miss summer too much!
