We headed out early one morning to beat the heat and get that gorgeous early morning light… many thanks to these two for being willing to use up a precious vacation morning for a photo session (especially my brother-in-law as I know that’s not exactly a guy’s idea of vacation fun)!  :)

We love these two so much and I’m so excited to have finally been able to capture some special images for them…

So, last year I promised myself I would make a point to set aside time to do them more often.  I started with 18 month pictures last May, and waited until our annual beach trip to Hilton Head to do the pictures.  I still love those pictures and already can’t believe how much Luke has changed in a year’s time.  I loved that “session” so much that I decided to do more with him this year while we were in Hilton Head in mid-June.  It always tests my patience doing pictures with my own child.  I guess having a mom with a camera in her hand so often makes some children want to do anything BUT cooperate for pictures.  It is so worth it, though, as I would never want to forget these moments in his childhood. 

Many MANY thanks so my sweet husband and father-in-law once again for helping me with this one.  Trying to manage a 2 1/2 year old on my own, with my camera, with sand everywhere… it just wouldn’t work without some assistance! :)

Happy 4th to you & yours!
