my little friends. { frost on flower }

On Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing Ali and Ben again, this time at their home. It was quite fitting as I first photographed their family two years ago, in their home, for Ali's first birthday. This happened to be for Ben's first birthday (and Ali's third as their birthdays are just weeks apart).

With their ages and their not too conveniently timed naps, I anticipated this session being a little more "lifestyle" than trying to be overly posed. Which works great for little ones. :)



Ali and I made a deal. I had to start by snapping the bottom snap.





Ben showed off his awesome using everything as a walker skills. :)



His outfit is perfect - Ali's 1st birthday photos were a white onesie with legwarmers as well. :)





It's been great to witness the evolution of her smiles. :)







Love these two photos together.. :)







Ali was really excited to have her mama repeatedly look at the raisin in her mouth. :)



And then she wanted some of her own, quite serious photographs, on the couch. I can't help but think corporate headshot when I look at these. Like 30 years down the road she'll have the exact same photos... :P





And then she got goofy. :)





Ben continued to impress me with his awesome climbing skills. But these chairs aren't quite heavy enough for it - he was teetering on the edge of disaster.. but he didn't seem to mind!
