Yesterday I was having one of those days where everything seemed to be going backwards and for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to smile... well... that was until I started working on these photographs.  I couldn't help myself...  every other pic I looked at was making me smile from the depths of my soul.  I mean come on...  how could I not...  just look at the pure joy and excitement that flows out of the faces of Kasima and Niko!!

Looking at these photos truly warmed my soul and made me so happy to be doing what I love!! 

This is the 3rd photo session I have had with these adorable cuties.  I first photographed Ulrike when she was still pregnant with Niko and Kasima was as shy as can be...  not anymore!!  granted even though they know me and my camera... Kasima & Niko still ran circles around me... LITERALLY... these two would not sit still...  I was amazed they weren't just blurs in every image.    But I guess that's what makes the pics so special... they were having so much fun!!!

May true joy and happiness find you when you need it... and may you be present enough to feel this sun when it shines upon you!

Love,
A
