Growning up

      Maybe it is the mom in me, but I have noticed over the years that the kids I photograph become almost like my own kids to me.  This is especially true for those kids I photograph since they were just babies. 
      The beauty of this is I get to send them back home with mom and dad after the session.  Hum, that is starting to sound like a grandmaw.  Let's move on to the point of the blog post before I grow any older.
       I have photographed both of these two girls since before they were even born; we did a maternity sessions for both.  And I have had the pleasure of watching these two girls grow up. 
      Now I know Ella and Nora are not grown up.  They are still young girls, but it has been really cool to be a part of their lives.
      Ella is in school now and Nora is helping mom with their new brother.  Yes, they have a little brother to torture, um I mean watch now.

     While we were doing the maternity session for Marshall, I spent some time photographing the girls.  The girls were so much fun that day. 
      We kept it simple and just focus on the different personalities of the girls.  They each played it up for the camera, but still showed their sweet quiet side as well. 
      I just love these two images from the session.  The first one shows the love between the two sisters.  This one shows the shy quiet side of Nora.
      While I was there talking to their mom, Ella showed just what a big girl she has become. She took care of her little sister without even having to be asked.
      I was so proud of Ella.  She has grown up into a great big sister.
