I was honored that my friend and mom to one of Eli’s best buddies “G” asked me to photograph her boys. It is a real treat when when women you meet through your kids, become your friends, and then they add ask me to capture their kids. I am always touched and so glad to do it, because I realize what a special privilege it is.

Yesterday, Eli and I went to G’s grandma’s house for our shoot. It is one of the gorgeous old homes right in the center of Cleveland Park. The kind you walk by and ogle at, but it was also filled with gorgeous natural light. I mean the kind of light as a photographer you dream about finding and shooting with.

So these kids were a riot. It was a Friday after school and lets face it, by Friday most kids are done. They are just plain exhausted from keeping it together all week. So we had our moments, and after 4 hours I am sure they were all ready for me to leave. But honestly I loved every minute of it. All three of them are so unique and really different. In my mind these three images really speak to who each one of them are. Cant wait to finish editing.
