Sometimes I get really lucky with the families I shot. Gus and Ruby are a perfect example of this. I've known their mom for several years now and in fact she is a close friend of mine. But I am not just saying this because I know she'll be reading it - her kids are some of the sweetest, best behaved, most cooperative I've encountered. Really I don't know how she does it (and trust me I've asked) but somehow she has managed to have these amazing kids. Baby Ruby is so sweet that she literally would NOT STOP SMILING the entire session. In fact I am not convinced she even knows how to make any other expressions. And Gus is such a doll. I have a sweet spot for little boys (since I have a few of my own) and Gus is no exception. So sweet, funny, and what a personality.

I will continue to try and get their mom to give me all her secrets and when I do I'll be sure to share them. Unless of course I decide just to keep them to myself so everyone will think that I am the perfect mom.
