Yesterday I shot some photos of my sister, Josh and the boys. We try to do this once a year and I always feel so much pressure because I want to do such an amazing job for them but they are also my trickiest clients ever. If you haven't been following my blog long, both of my nephews have Autism. Noah is almost 8 and Elijah is 6. They're adorable and I can't believe how huge they are getting! But if you look at the thumbnails from our shoots, it's pretty hilarious. I always think it's a miracle that we get even one photo with everyone looking decent. There is a whole lot of wiggling and some interesting expressions and Elijah won't look at the camera no matter how much you call his name. They are manageable for about 10 minutes and then everyone is done. It's every family shoot with kids times 10 :). And I want it to be perfect. So I have my work cut out for me.

The top photo is miraculous--you don't even know. We told them to hug and then they just happened to look toward the camera and smile--so precious.

Here's Noah--so big and a skateboarding pro already:
Grandma and grandpa came along to help out and here they are bribing Elijah with a cookie:
Cookie monster himself:
The one in 300 best family photo of the day:
I have to give a ton of credit to Natalie and Josh. They've done this many times over the years and it takes SO MUCH ENERGY. Plus they have to look good themselves in the process.

Another cute shot:
I like this one because it shows them as themselves and the connections they have with each other:
Whew! Love them.
