Through my experiences in working with children and families, I often notice a certain degree of timidness when meeting children for the first time. This; however, was not true for Carson and Gweni. Within seconds of meeting Lindsey's children, I was greeted with smiles and "hello's." Not only were Carson and Gweni friendly and polite, but I could tell they were also very intelligent. Everyone is familiar with the traditional "Cheese" or "Smile," but when photographing children, you often have to be a bit more creative. In the past I have used words like "stinky" or my recent favorite, "dog butt," but again..., this was not true for Carson and Gweni. When posing for pictures, Carson insisted I use the terms, "First Responder Vehicle" and "Birds of Prey," and every now and then I would throw in a "Unicorn" for Gweni.

Thank you Lindsey for introducing me to your wonderful family. I had an absolute blast exploring the park and playing with your little ones. You and Javin have done an incredible job in raising Carson and Gweni, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them.
