This lovely child's wonderful mom and I began our children's schooling odyssey together way, way back. Our paths have happily crossed here and there over the years, but I always remembered how very intelligent, strong-minded and sensible she was.  When our kids were in school together, I turned to her for support and advice as she has an education background, and I felt that we really saw eye to eye on things. I spent many, many long chatty phonecalls finding my way through the start of preschool with her on the other end of the phone so willing to listen! I was thrilled that she honored me with a request to photograph her gorgeous daughter. 

Since my last two posts were so formal, I thought I'd lighten things up a bit with these shots of a very precious boy who I am very lucky to be aunt to. He stayed at my house all week tumbling around with my monkeys, kind of a shocking immersion into family chaos as he is an only child. But, as always, he fell right into step with our madness and hopefully he had as good a time as we did, loving him like crazy!!!
