Where Some Sweet Smiles Come From (Northern Virginia Baby Photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Gainesville Virginia Photographer, Haymarket Virginia Photographer)

Isn't she just the cutest little thing?  It was fun to see how much she grew in a years time.  

I know you can't tell but she was such a trooper this day.  It was so hot outside and yet we still got some sweet smiles.  Even better yet, I remember how she got these smiles.  It was her mom working behind me.  This little sweety loves her mom and I will always remember that because of these images. 

I hope you enjoy these cute images.   

Ha! Ha! I Got Them! (Northern Virginia Child photographer, Northern Virginia High School photographer, Northern Virginia Photographer, Gainesville Virginia Photographer, Leilani Mitchell Photography, Leilani Photography)

Whew!  I think most people I photograph assume that it is easy for me as a photographer to photograph my own children.  Well, to be quite frank with you it isn't easy at all.  

Every year there is one reason or another that my boys drag out the photographing process.  There are times when they just run around crazy and I chase after them, there are times when the weather doesn't cooperate, the list of excuses go on and on.  But!  I finally got them!  In deed I got the pictures done.  

My oldest son had a bad haircut and he wouldn't allow me to photograph him until it grew out a little.  I think he's handsome no matter what!  

Then there's my youngest who was more interested in playing his video games and also wanted his pictures done in the snow like our family pictures, so we had to wait for another snow storm before we could take them.  

So, here there are my growing boys.  Another older and another wrinkle added to my face.  :)  I sure do love them!
