Another Year Older!

I have had the great pleasure of photographing brother and sister, Benicio & Luciana (aka: Benny & Lulu!) since they were both newborn babies.  I absolutely love photographing them!  They are both so adorable with such great personalities.  It is so much fun and such an honor to get to see them (and document them) growing up and interacting together with one another.  Here is a blog post from last year showcasing my first official portraits of Luciana:

And here are a few portraits from our recent fun and relaxed session….

Luciana is such a happy baby and has adorable expressions…. like this one:

and check out those stunning blue eyes!

Peek-a-boo!

This is actually one of my favorites from the session…..

Benny was rocking out and dancing around the room to some music.  To be precise, the song was “I Like to Move It” by Reel to Real.  If your kids are singing and daning to this 1994 “classic” it might be because they recently watched the movie Madagascar.  Of course, I just had to supply a link to the video:

Suddenly, during his adorable dancing, he slipped on a book and took a hard fall onto the floor.  Though it definitely had to hurt, it was nothing that a hug and kiss from Mom couldn’t fix.  🙂

Every session with this family is so much fun!  Thanks, as always!!
