Scott and Josh... WILD BOYS!

First off, I love photographing kids.  There is only so much you can "plan" for sessions with the kiddos and I have to be prepared to let them lead the way.  I simply need to do whatever makes them happy and makes photo time enjoyable for them.  This means making weird sounds, crawling around, poking bellies and jumping around like I'm nuts.  In other words... I act like a big kid.  So getting to photograph my friends' kids is always a big treat.  I do my normal "antics" but that sense of insecurity is GONE with these kids from the minute we start because they already know the goofy chick behind the camera!  There is such freedom and enjoyment in children's photography... but there's complete and utter hilarity and excitement with those kids who I'm not a stranger to.  I can't even tell you how many photos resulted from the impromptu "Dance Party" we had on the side of an old gas station when their mom turned on some tunes on the IPod.  LOVE IT. LOVE THESE BOYS.
