Kids will be kids

Whenever I see kids playing together they remind me of little puppies rolling around in the sand getting their paws wet and dirty while gnawing at each others ankles. Its the cutest sight and the perfect reason to get that camera out and start shooting. Well this spring break I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the gorgeous Khan kids. As cute as they were together I think what mesmerized me the most were their stunning grey/green eyes. Both the older daughter and son were fleeting all over the place but they had such a calmness about them that I just kept shooting. We had bubbles, and trucks and swings to photograph around. Even though at times I felt like I wasn't getting a single good shot especially of the younger son who wouldn't want to sit for even a second in front the camera, I had the best time running around after them.

The setting was lovely. I met with Amina Khan a week prior to the shoot because she wanted to get an idea if their backyard would be an ideal location for their shoot. I thought it was perfect. With the bright red flooring on their deck, white washed fencing and the amazing greenery surrounding them it was a very serene and peaceful place to photograph. Plus with the lighting of the late afternoon sun you just can't get better than that. I was even able to capture some fun shots with their latest addition Haaniya. Such a sweet and pretty family and a real pleasure to work with. Thank you Khan family for letting me capture your adorable kids.

Heres a sneak peek from their shoot:
