cousins | birmingham, al children photographer

Two families, one afternoon.  It had the potential for disaster & the potential for spectacularness (I like to make up words…whatev.)

To say that I was nervous…well…let’s just say that I was nervous.  That is, until 4 spunky, blonde beauties came around the corner and instantly, I knew we were going to have a blast.

Kristy is a friend of one of my favorite people on the planet (Heather, whoop whoop!), so when she contacted me about having a session for her and her sister’s kids, I was pretty pumped.

She mentioned to me that neither one of them had ever had professional portraits taken of their children, so they were a little nervous about the experience.  They shouldn’t have been.  They completely ROCKED it.  Pros from the start.

We spent the afternoon playing chase, soccer (with a Minnie’s Bowtique bouncy ball), peek-a-boo, rolling around in the grass and splashing in the fountain. So. Much. FUNNNNNNNNN!

Parker, Owen & Spencer were so sweet and patient with Cate.  They included her in all of their shenanigans and when they forgot, she made sure they remembered with a “{clap, clap} Here boys!!”  There is something so special about cousins.  Cousins are our 1st best friends.  Our 1st sleepover buddies.  Our 1st partners in crime.  Our 1st enemies & our 1st allies.  The relationship between these ‘almost-siblings’ is a pretty great thing, so the fact that these 4 cousins were having this 1st experience together, with me, was pretty UH. MAY. ZING. in my book.

I was honored.
