Alaina and Alexa

   As promised here is the next installment of the blog! This session was for Alaina and Alexa. These two little angels are the children of Amy and Sean. I have been photographing their family for a couple of years now. The day we chose to shoot was a wonderful Pittsburgh day, snowy and cold. lol. But that did not stop Amy and Sean from stopping by the studio. It was worth the trek in, we got some fun and great shots of the girls! First up was Alaina. I have had some great shots with this little girl over the years. They have been fun and challenging; anything from blowing bubbles and having a tea party in the park, to running around the Rose Garden, our shoots are never boring! But due to the winter weather we did some inside studio work this time.       
 This was the first portrait session for Alexa, and just like with her big sister we got some really great shots. Alexa was such a good model. We ended up with about 30 mins of shooting time, and for a newborn that is awesome! The photos below are some of my favorite shots from the day.


 



And finally we attempted to get both girls together in a photo. It turned out to be a little harder than expected. By now, Alexa had had enough of being photographed. LOL. I still, however, used this moment to get some cool shots.  I loved the way Alaina comforted and cared for Alexa during these few shots. 

So after it was all said and done we broke up the session into two parts. Amy, Sean and the girls ended up coming back a week later so we could get a few more shots of the girls together. I think it was worth it. We photographed for about 30 minutes and finally got some shots of the girls, happy to be together!! 
Loving sisters, friends forever. Sometimes, a picture really does say more than a thousand words.   Great ending to our photo session!
