(pro of having a photographer for a friend:  cheap as free family session…con of having a photographer for a friend…she processes the photos at her leisure.)

we just went for a quick walk around the neighbourhood…hitting kids moods right is…a very…delicate…art, but we lucked out with some AMAZING light.

this is baby lily…who makes the very best faces.

and here’s clahra (yes, that’s spelled right)…who, instead of answering affirmatively, “yes”, says “right”.  it’s really adorable.  “clahra, are you hungry?”  “right.”

rocky the dog came with us on our walk…he was a pretty regal (and incredibly well-behaved) dog.

you’ve always gotta get the one requisite family portrait…this one took some doing.  (i won’t give everything away, but, uh…let’s just say PS helped me make sure everyone’s attention was on me.  or nearly so.)

clahra was NOT having it…i’m sure you see why i am happy with “sort of vaguely looking in my direction”. 

and finished up with a few rounds of “mommy-is-the-merry-go-round”.  (nb:  there was no photoshopping done to this image… )
