I love lovity love these two girls.  Always full of smiles and ready to flash those big beautiful eyes at my camera like pros.  And, well, they are indeed professional models…. published and legit.  It isn’t hard to see why, is it?

And  just 571 days  (1 year, 6 months, and 25 days) earlier than the slideshow pictures…..

Only 941 days before those slideshow photos, Joey was doing her modeling gigs solo.  Really.  That’s just 2 years, 6 months, and 30 days.

It’s impressive and crazy how quickly little people march on toward their future adult selves, isn’t it?

I had a great time running around after my old pal, Griffin, at Sutro park.  Since this little guy learned to walk, our photo sessions have been all about running around and having a good time.  No matter what kind of mood he’s in at the beginning of our photo shoots, I can always count on that huge grin to come out once he’s warmed up a bit.  And his dog is always a great way to make him giddy with joy- I love this series of him trying to catch up with his big furry friend and then finally landing a big kiss.

I’ll need to get in better shape before the next photo session because Spencer was just taking some of his first steps that day.  If he’s anything like his big brother, all of our future portrait sessions will be require me to be VERY fast to catch up with these guys.

I was happy that the boys’ mom, Shana, took advantage of the puddles left behind by days of rain and brought along Griffin’s rain boots and coat for some fun puddle jumping shots too.  I love cute kids in puddles!

I do believe Joey is slightly aware of how gorgeous she is, wouldn’t you say?  Years ago I photographed Joey for the first time and it was a slight challenge- not a huge challenge, but I certainly had to work at getting the smiles.  But that child has turned into a full fledged little model.   All I had to do this time was stand there with my camera and push the right buttons- no convincing required.  I could fill three blog pages of great photos from this shoot.

This was the first time I met Joey’s little sister, Fiona and I can already see a future of super easy happy photo shoots with these guys.  I think she’s already learning a few things about modeling from her big sister.  Watch out boys, these girls are going to break some hearts some day!
