I don't know what happened in the last year but these little girls are no so little anymore. It made me feel old for a moment as their parents and I tried to recall how many years I been photographing them (plus brother). Just bumped into this slideshow from last year of the threesome. So much has changed but one thing that hasn't... I still love capturing their cuteness.
Read Moretough and tumble
These three little guys are sweet and sincere (like their mom) yet 100% tough and tumble. I may have used a few more bribes then usual during this session but it was hotter then we expected for early September. The three (plus dad) "suffered" along knowing they had been promised a splash session when we finished. The idea of cannon balling into the pool had kept them smiling and cool most of the evening.

Bright colors and warm, cozy textures were littered across my screen as I began to design story boards with Melissa's style in mind. We began with a few favorite items selected from the girls' closets and shopped for pieces to complete each outfit. Its only fitting that each of her daughters would already have a style all of their own just like their sweet mom. Lucy's polka-dot sweater dress paired with her pink Hunter boots was a great complement to her big sister's new boyfriend-blazer and cheetah print corduroy. Snappy color block ballet flats and a loose silk top perfected Sophia's outfit.

"Mooooommmm, I only wear skinny jeans!" protested Scarlet, her little voice carrying quite impressively for being only three. Of course I laugh. It was adorable. Somehow I was the only one who missed the memo... you NEVER laugh at a three year old!
Read Moreizzy loves bubbles.
She made my day with those big eyes full of wonder. Her mama was becoming lightheaded as she struggled to blow iridescent bubbles through the cheap, pink, plastic wand I brought along. Such an inefficient means of fun. Izzy's eyes just grew bigger with every happy bubble floating her way. As if my heart wasn't melted already, Isabelle stood by their car blowing me kisses as I drove away.
Note to self... take time to enjoy the simple things... and invest in a new bubble set.
