Happy birthday, boys!

Can I tell you how much I love first birthday sittings?  It’s so much fun to watch the babies explore their cakes.  And wear their cakes.  And smash their cakes…  The only drawback is that I always leave with a craving for cake.  So check out two of the cutest brothers around:

I have to thank the little guy on the right for the inspiration to throw all of those little plastic balls in there — it wasn’t part of the original plan.  We did this shoot in their family room and he was playing in a porta-crib filled with the things as I set up the balloons.  He got a kick out of throwing balls onto my backdrop while I worked.  I thought it was brilliant!  It added a whole new layer of interest to the setup.  Way to go baby!

And now, just to give you a taste of what it’s like to do a photo shoot with two busy one year-olds:

    Oh my goodness – that is pure entertainment!! Darling photos – love all the color. And the video takes me back to those days my boys were first walking. I love the man to man defense, corralling them back into place, the tears, the crumbs. What a delight! (Guessing those were your sweet nephews, yes?)
