I love days when I get to meet super nice people, and this was one of those days!!! These little guys are 6 months old and are so loved by their big brother who's 7. With twins there's always lots of activity and these sweeties were no exception but they're sweet faces made it all worth it. Hope you like your sneak peek Mom and Dad!!

I think it's good to step out of the box once in a while and work with photographing adults!! Of course I get to see adults when I do family sessions but to have a woman as my photo subject all by herself is a bit different for me. I have to admit it was pretty fun :) These images were taken to use as a more casual option for a headshot for her book promotion material and website. Even though this was a new experience for me I hope to get the opportunity again some time.
