Family photos

Since Liam's birthday is in November, we again turned his birthday photos into a family session so we could get a family photo for the Christmas card.


I was out of location ideas, and when Courtney suggested the Liberty Memorial, I knew it was perfect.


The one thing I didn't count on was that all of the people at Liberty Memorial would be distracting to the boys.


Looking at the people walking past was far more interesting than looking at Courtney's camera.  When we left the session, I wasn't sure if Courtney had captured any good smiles.


When am I going to learn that Courtney is awesome at capturing the perfect smile, even when they are fleeting.


There were so many great shots, I couldn't narrow it down.


I love them - toothy grin and all!




Even when they fight like cats and dogs, they are still each others best friends.




I love seeing the Kansas City skyline in the background of the family shots!




As the session goes out, you can start to see some weary smiles, but they still turned out great.  







This mischevious look came after he asked if he could play in the fountain.  LOL, no way jose!








Even though I left the session completely frustrated that the boys were not listening, I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.






And, since it's not a birthday photo shoot without balloons - here you go!


Courtney suggested one of Scott and I when we got back to our cars - initially I said no, but I'm golad we changed out mind!
