Sneak Peek: Kirkpatrick Family

What do you get when you combine two ridiculously good looking people?  Three cute little kids, that's what.  They have three kids under the age of three and that made me have to work a little harder than usual.  But these kids were so cute and sweet.  The moment I pulled up to the location little Ava headed straight for me and wanted me to pick her up.  How cute is that?  Then little Evan wanted to hold my hand all evening and pull me all over the place.  However, when I put the camera up to my face....they wanted no part of it.  Apparently they like me a lot more than they like my camera.  We spent quite a bit of time together and I got some wonderful pictures, but pictures of all five of them with smiles were hard to come by.  However.....it is a stage of life and having 3 kids at those ages is tricky.  Hopefully they will be able to look back at these and remember the chaos, wonder, exhaustion and sheer joy of this phase of life.  It gets easier, I promise.

For those of you who are wondering....this is what three kids under the age of three looks like.

 These two.  Three kids later and they still got the heat!

Sometimes a lollipop is a photographers only option!

And then there are the ones that take your breath away.

 

Then comes the time that the photographer messed up BIG time.  I was "hiding" the bottle in my back pocket so little Ava wouldn't see it.  Then I may have leaned up against the bridge and......out popped the bottle.  Into the stream.  The stagnant stream.  Where Ava could see it.  And mourn it.  I am SOOOOOOO sorry Ava.  And to Brian and Ambyr: I hope that your car ride home did not include a screaming baby.

But then I got this picture of Mama comforting her baby.  So sweet.

And then there is this......  I know not everyone is looking, but this might be one of my favorites of all time.

And if all else fails.....drag the kids on a quilt.  It is hard not to smile for that!

Thanks guys!  It was so fun to hang out with your sweet family.  And, I owe you a bottle.
