Soper Family

My poor blog! I have been SO busy this month with Santa Days, last minute Christmas deadlines and orders, my kids activities, family things etc... I just havent had a chance to write. I HAVE so much to catch up on!

I met up with the beautiful Soper family just a few weeks ago to attempt some Christmas family portraits. They had a failed attempt at a local chain and wanted to give it another shot! One of the hardest parts of my job is that I have to be behind my camera. I LOVE the challenge of getting kids to warm up to me and usually I am pretty successful at it. I have 2 kids of my own who have VERY different personalities and they have seasoned me on how to "get in" with the kids. When I got to hang out with the Soper's little Luke REALLY wasn't too crazy about me being there. He did come around in time and showed me his amazing smile ;-) Luke you really are the sweetest most handsome little guy once people break through! Thanks for the fun!

Now, to top that off, Luke (who is 3) has 2 little sisters who are about 18 months old... and... they are twins. I don't think I have ever felt so bad about not getting names right with these two sweeties. I CANNOT for the life of me tell them apart. After spending some time editing their two sessions (they came out for Santa Days) I can now see the little differences in their apperances, however... it's tough! It's obvious their personalities are different, but I could not keep them straight!\

Lastly, big brother Kilian who I believe he said is 8, is an absolute gem. He has the most geniune smile and a heart that is more special than I can express here. When Kilian sat with Santa, and Santa asked, "what do you want for Christmas". He said, "It doesn't matter, as long as im with my family". He meant it. Kilian, don't loose that heart about you.

Soper family, it was an absolute joy getting to meet all of you! Next time, we will do this outside so the kids can just have a blast!
