First (Official) Photo Session

Every day is a photo session around our house, with impromptu pictures taken by me, but one day last week was a special day. My friend Dusty has her own photography and design business, On a dot, and she came over to photograph to twins. This is something I have really wanted to do - get a professional photo of them at this age.

It was great that she came here, because it was a lot easier for me, and the kids were more comfortable in their usual surroundings. Dusty is so great with kids! The twins took to her immediately with no stranger anxiety at all. Before I knew it, Evie was tugging on Dusty's pant legs, wanting to be picked up, and Gavin was trying to pull her glasses off.

The kids were absolutely fascinated with her lights and extension cords:

I wanted to have a white background, but the twins decided they would rather sit on the backdrop then sit in front of it:

We gave up on the background and just used the scenery in the back yard!

Then Evie decided she wanted to get behind the camera and climbed right into Dusty's lap:


Maybe she will be a photographer!

Gavin didn't get her glasses this time, but he did later on!


We had a great time! For a sneak peek at our photo session, click here!
