the world is alive now, in and outside our home

In the midst of this late fall chill, these sisters are like a cup of cocoa.  I had a very hard time whittling down the amount of photos to share from this family session.  These girls just warmed me so.  They were (and are!) the physical manifestations of happiness and whimsy.  And their parents had such a gentle, knowing way about them...tender and affectionate.  Yet again, I struck gold when Mom and Dad *understood* the fact that I like to play with children before we do anything even remotely resembling a posed portrait.  Kate and Julia were so much fun!  Whether it was "ice skating" on the parquet floors with their blankets or pointing out our locale on the US map painted playfully on the playground or being lovey with their parents with a snuggle or a soccer ball, they just represented pure joy.

 

you're ever welcome with me any time you like

I'm in between sessions on a beautiful October afternoon.  Just spent the morning with a total delight of a family and their two gorgeous little girls and had to share...  When I think of the phrase "sisterly love", well, this moment just fits perfectly.

They just enjoy each other's company so.  :)  Don't worry, Mama.  There are surely more to come.
