Sisters and cousins, and grandparents, oh my (and at least two of each)! This extended family session was such a joy to photograph (thanks to the coordinating efforts of one proud grandfather!).  Even the sky was conspiring to make the day great and held back the rain storm that was threatening .

The two toddling cousins you see below were definitely the center of attention in the family.  When he wasn’t dancing to his grandmother’s singing, Ben (the older one) kept running back to energetically pedal his bike. Can you imagine he preferred it to having his photo taken?!   And Will, who just turned 1 year old (happy birthday!), wanted to be anywhere Ben was!   We just couldn’t get a synchronized smile – one would start crying and then the other cousin would look over and start crying – it was just so sympathetic and cute.  The last photos of them were so funny with the alternate crying and comforting – I couldn’t stop giggling while they were doing it, and the giggles came back while editing them after the session!
