What made this shoot so fantastic, (apart from two adorable kids, sweet outfits, nice light, a grandma to play peek a boo,) was how chilled mom was.
Simon wanted to climb, Neah couldn't keep her mind off jumping in the puddles.
So that's what we did, we played, and I could have kept playing all day with these two - so full of life and personality.
Absolute beautiful children.

I love it when a parent brings along their relaxed, go with the flow attitude to a session, not only do we get to create some beautiful photos, but we have fun doing it.

Karen, these are absolutely beautiful!...it's going to be REALLY hard to pick. The B&W one of Neah is like a window into her soul :) Thanks for your comments about "mom"/me. But I think my "chill" attitude might be just complacency towards the busyness of having 2 under 4. LOL

These photographs have really captured an intently inquisative confidence in Neah as well as Simon's enthusiastic desire to assist in the gentle structure of the pictures.

What great pictures! Neah sure looks like her Mom. Simon is growing daily, obviously, and sure is cute.

Awesome pictures, I absolutely love the blacka and white one and the one of Simon alone on the deck with the blue chair.

Ah yes...full of life, personality and so much more. Beautiful eyes, colour, definition and contrast-fabulous photos! Nice work Karen, chilled Momma, Grammy and the wacky super-stars.

Living at the opposite end of the island from the Price-Smallacombe clan means I don't get to see these two beauties (and mom and dad too) nearly enough. Great pics like these make it easier to watch them grow from afar. The one with Neah in the chair is channeling Auntie Tiff from her younger years!

I'm a black and white fan so my favorite is Neah. Perhaps you should submit it in the North Island Fall Fair photo contest... don't forget when it roles around because I'm sure it would win something.!

Thanks Sheldon, I do think that photo is a new fave - there is something so intriguing about her look.
