Sam and "Little E"





These are my incredibly gorgeous and vivacious neice and nephew, Elizabeth and Sammy. Elizabeth's nickname is "Little E", but she's not so "little" anymore J & J... Not fair, I know. I've taken lots of candids over the years of these two, but this was my favorite time spent with them behind the camera. We worked with very little open shade so not as much variety as I'd like, but it was fun chatting them up: we talked about Elizabeth's favorite Sponge Bob character, Patrick, Sam's favorite position in baseball being the pitcher (because he's closest to the batter there), Sam's handful of grass to feed the grass carp in Grandpa's pond, and how Elizabeth is able to achieve motion blur with her camera.

Their little brother Ben was on the run just about right when everyone got there. I should have taken images of him first; with each session I learn something (more than one something actually) and with this one I learned TAKE PICTURES OF THE FASTEST ONE FIRST!! I hope to catch Ben some time soon, he's got an incredible face that I want all of you to see. His heart is gold as well and it shows up in his kind eyes.

Man, are my relatives gorgeous or what?!?!

Oh, one more important thing - my daughter Rachel and Elizabeth are BFFFFFFFFFFF - seriously. I've never seen two girls that young so closely bonded, like they were friends in a past life. It's really something to see.
