I keep telling myself that I need to do the twins’ 3-year-old ‘portraits’.
As in, groomed hair, ironed outfits, beautiful backdrop, soft light.
But I’m thinking these candid ‘portraits’ 3 of 8 captured during their birthday party capture the season better.
7 of 8 with her bangs in her eyes. 8 of 8, always on the move, always in blurry focus, always with Buzz or Woody by his side.
And their siblings and friends…
AT with her freckles and infectious grin.
Our baby-fix-next-door, JB, and his huge chocolate brown eyes.
6 of 8’s goofy humor.
There’s a time and a place for those manicured, coiffed, pressed pictures. But it’s these photos that tell the real story, the fun, the mess, the sugar-loaded antics of a little birthday party.
In all of its sticky, homegrown, messy, imperfect perfection.
