Personality

My friend Erika, who took all the amazing photos gracing the header and side bar of this little blog, has a truly special and rare talent. As a photographer, she does not just capture the most beautiful physical traits of her subjects...she captures their hearts. I have just been dying to share, but as I told a friend in an e-mail today...I keep running out of time in my day. (I wonder how that happens.)

Erika captured so many beautiful pictures of my kiddos that I am splitting this post into two: Personalities & Portraits. Today's photos are the personality photos. 

(In case you couldn't tell.)

Proud and sweet big brother with limitlessly happy Rayne.

The whole goofy troop.

Impish Aaliyah.

I don't know what look they were going for, but this picture cracks me up.

The wild boys. (The girls are actually more wild, but don't tell the guys I said that. I do not need a competition to ensue.)

Rayne. Forever the joker.

Noah, with a smile so big sometimes you can barely see his eyes.

Next time, I'll share my favorite portraits. Those ones were the pics I oohed and awed over in the beginning, but these one...the ones that show their inner beauty, their happy spirits...these are the ones that keep drawing me back into the file folder for a little happy pick-me-up.
