There was a whole lotta screamin going on at the Pier this past weekend. You may remember these two wild things as the “Betty Butter” girls from our shoot earlier this year “Dancing in the Park.” Well they outdid themselves on Sunday… dancing, running, squealing, screaming… The above shot is them hollering on the way up…
and shrieking on the way down!!…


Aw, a pause in the action a moment for a good luck hug…

Devilishly competitive, this Mom is the first in my history of shooting at the pier, who actually won the prize and didn’t let the kids win… lol!! Just look at the intensity:

So I bounced Mom to the sidelines and told Dad to keep her busy…

Y’all know by now that this is one of my signature shots… I love the total joy and movement in this one…

A good squeeeeeeze high above the ocean…

Being chased by Dad and an anatomically correct Homer Simpson – don’t ask, but you would run too.

A hoot and a holler…

…and sometimes, the screaming just gets to be too much…

…until the next time 🙂

I’ve known 4 yr. old twins Sarah and Aaron since they were born, and I’ve been lucky to photograph them every year of their young lives since. I’m crazy about these two kids! – they have such personality, are so loving and energetic, and are hands down the most cooperative and up-for-anything toddlers I’ve ever met.
What a great job I have, to spend an afternoon with these two little packages of happiness at Santa Monica Pier…

Gazing out at the sea…


Sarah is definitely the “me first!” type of girl, independent and fearless, quick to laugh and easy to smile. While Aaron is laid back, super sweet and very silly. This picture says it all…

Running after pigeons, running after each other, or just running wild – these two ran almost the entire time.





Snack faces.


Putting a penny in for luck…


Celebrating his win with “woofie” and “swish!”


This girl’s got sass… she doesn’t walk, she struts!


Whew! – a moment of rest…

…and that was all before lunchtime!
Stayed tuned for more 🙂

Busy Busy!… I’m so fortunate to be booked solid every holiday season with family portrait sessions, and this year is my busiest. I’ll catch up with postings this week. In the meantime, here’s a quick sneak peek of one of the most fun shoots this year.
Little 4 yr. old twins, Sarah and Aaron at Santa Monica Pier yesterday. It does not get any more adorable and sweet than these two…

More tasty cuteness on the blog tomorrow!
