Be warned this post includes a lot of teasers! I have been waiting to photograph Abby and Zach since last fall and we were finally able to get all of our schedules matched up while I was in town last weekend. Abby and Zach are the dear children of a friend that I have known for 20+ years. I met their mom one summer at overnight camp and we became fast friends – growing up in the suburbs close to Chicago, on a swim team together and of course life-guarding at the community pools together for a few years as well. I was excited to learn they lived near Phoenix and even more excited to be asked to take their family portraits!
Abby is an adorable four-year old with a typical four-year old vocabulary, although she is fluent in American Sign Language, she is a bundle of energy, fast to make friends and steal your heart. As soon as Abby saw my camera she was quick to primp and pose and even try to take a few pictures on her own. Zach is her giggly two-year-old brother who greeted me with a huge smile, brotherly antics and his awesome head full of curls!
We had a blast playing near the desert flowers in bloom and along the path that leads to Poopa’s house!
Thank you for having me out. I think we should make this an annual event!
