Jessi contacted me about a month ago and asked if I would have time to squeeze in a session for her and her brother while he was in town visiting. She said her step-mom's birthday was coming up and she thought some photos would be the perfect gift. (Don't worry, I cleared it with Jessi before posting this. I didn't want to ruin the surprise!) I said sure and asked what she had in mind.
I knew from the instant she described her idea for these photos that they were going to be fun, but I never could have imagined just how incredible they were going to turn out. Watching Jessi and Cole together was so awesome. I am totally in love with how these photos capture their personalities and show the amazing bond between these siblings. This was by far one of the most fun sessions I have ever had the pleasure of photographing, and it was such an honor to be able to capture these moments for Jessi and Cole. This right here is why I love my job so much.
I admit that I went a bit overboard with photos for this sneak peek because I just couldn't bring myself to narrow it down any farther. Plus, these images were crazy easy to edit, so I was able to crank them out in no time. And with that, I'm going to hush up because the photos really don't need any commentary. In this instance a photo (or eleven) really is worth a thousand words.
So, I give to you Jessi + Cole + A Whole Lotta Paint....
Jessi and Cole, Thank you so much for allowing me to take these photos for you! It was a blast capturing these memories of your time together. I hope your step-mom likes the photos as much as I do!! :)
P.S. If Jessi looks familiar to you it is because her solo session was just featured on the blog a few weeks ago!

I absolutley LOVE all these pics!! I have been adding that comment in every location I can lol. You did an amazing job capturing how fun and loving these two are!! Jess had sent me the one where they are hugging and I thought that was my favorite. But I think I like the one above it where they both are laughing so hard. I can almost hear them...and the one where there heads are together and the one of their feet. Oh who am I kidding - I LOVE THEM ALL. Thanks so much Michele for giving me a birthday present from my daughter that will last a lifetime!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I wouldn't want to have to clean up the mess, I'd love to do something like this sometime! I wouldn't do it with my brothers though, they'd probably just pour the paint over my head! These turned out really wonderful.
