The thing about photographing families repeatedly is that the kids begin to warm up to me quicker each time. Last fall when I photographed the Vos family, we had both a cold day and a shy little girl so we all had to work pretty hard to get some smiles. I walked away from that shoot feeling so proud of what I was able to capture!

This time, it didn’t take long for both kids to warm up to me and the camera (and I’m sure being on the beach helped too) and I just love these silly smiles and cheeky personalities. They are very close in ages to my kids and their personalities remind me so much of my own!

We ended the shoot with a fun little surprise! Scroll down to see!
