Last month I had the opportunity to travel to Macon and take some family pictures of James, Amanda and Kyla Rose. It made it even more fun that Dan and Brittain were able to come along. In between shots, when the girls started getting stir crazy, they would take a few minutes to just run around and laugh. At the end, we stayed a few extra minutes so they could do some more playing.
It’s so funny to me the relationship that Brittain and Kyla Rose have and the way they play together. Amanda and I have been best friends forever, but of course we didn’t know if our children would find that same special connection. And because of the distance between us, we can’t get together as often as we would like. Despite this, though, Brittain and Kyla have developed a different relationship than what I’ve seen with other children Brittain is around. They play so well together, and you can just tell when they’re together how much they enjoy each other’s company. I’m so thankful for my friendship with Amanda and now the friendship Brittain has with Kyla.
When we first arrived, Brittain immediately had to go to the bathroom, so Dan dropped me off and hit the closest fast food restaurant for a tee-tee break. I loved seeing the looks on both of the girls’ faces. It was a combination of excitement and shock. And the hug was just way too sweet.
In between things, and during wardrobe changes I caught some other shots:
At the point I took this picture, Brittain kept saying to me, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy” trying to get my attention. When I finally stopped what I was doing and acknowledged her she said, “Mommy, is this your camera bag?”:
Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:
Once Kyla Rose sat on the tree, Brittain wanted to do it as well. I think she liked it…but she kept one eye over her shoulder, and made sure her Daddy was holding on tight at all times.
