My nephew Braeden just turned 3, so our family held a little birthday party. I couldn't stop photographing him, as well as my 7-year-old niece Makenna and another family member, Eastynn. Kids are so much fun to photograph! They rarely notice a camera, which allows for some really natural portraits and candids. The relaxed kids coupled with some gorgeous light made me one happy photographer!
I love providing natural, non-posed portraits for families because they're not the kind of photos most people take. They provide a sense of what it felt like to be present in that moment. This type of portrait is also how we often remember people as time passes. Braeden has a love for certain toys over other ones, and he and Makenna spend lots of time playing together, and that's what the portraits reflect. He's all over the place and full of energy, so that's what I hoped to capture.

| Braeden's toy of the day was this flashlight! |
 |
| Cutest hide-and-seek I've ever seen! |
 |
| Braeden's so full of conversation! |
 |
| Braeden and Makenna get along so well! I'm amazed whenever I spend time with them of how considerate they are of each other. If one gets something to eat, they won't start until the other one has something too. |

| Braeden was SO excited to hear the siren of a passing fire truck. Daddy's a firefighter, so he knows that sound! |

Makenna wanted to hold Braeden like a baby for this photo, and Braeden lets her do whatever she wants! Such a great pair!
