Joel + Ava’s Portraits at White Rock Lake

It’s been a busy week! I’m glad though, because as long as I’m busy taking photos or editing, I’m happy. :) I’m really glad Reina asked me to take portraits of her kids, Joel and Ava this week. They’re cute and were a lot of fun to get to know. We took the photos at a playground at White Rock Lake because I figured it would be the best way to keep Ava’s attention and keep her laughing. It was a chilly morning, but after Joel and I chased her around a bit, we warmed up! It was Joel’s 10th birthday, and he’s a very mature and sweet boy. He helped me a lot with finding ways to get Ava to take a photo. She’s two, so you know she didn’t sit for very long! Still, it’s one of my favorite ages to photograph because they’re so hyper and fun. Anyway– thanks a lot, Reina & Pete for trusting me to capture your adorable kids’ personalities! Here are a few of my favorites.
