Steph's Kiddos

...so Steph's kids qualify as my most photographed group of kiddos -- two, maybe three shoots a year for the past few years. They know that Uncle Greg -- be it here in STL or down in Austin -- is probably going to be takin' some pics of them whenever we're together so he can try some different things with the camera. I guess that helps them be a little more comfortable in front of the camera. It also gives them a little ownership in where/how/what we shoot, since they've got a good idea of what's going on. They know it means mom's going to pick out some outfits for them to wear ... Uncle Greg's going to snap a bunch of pics ... and that, if they do good, ice cream later (that helps). This one was a fun shoot. Melia loved her dress ... Gray was wary of the bees ... Aiden was tryin' to not smile ... and Steph was sportin' a new haircut. It was a good time. =) They were up here for the summer + just recently headed out back to Texas ... but it was most definitely good spending the summer with them.















...and ............ we're done.
