"yo, yo, yo!"

I was hanging out with the triplets last night (they're 2 years old), and it just cracks me up when they talk. It's so cute. I love spending time with my cousins, they're just so adorable. Elizabeth likes to say things like "hi, hi, hi" or "no, no, no" so I figured I would try "yo." It worked; she sounded like a lil rapper. When Pam & John came home, we were cracking up. They're so polite too, always saying things like, "more applesauce, please." I want my kids to be that good. It's always fun to be a little goofy.

Another one of my cousins, Cece, is the youngest of 6. I have aptly named her "Animal." She's crazy, but I love her.

My favorite part of spending time with my crazy cousins is that not only to I get to watch them grow up from each set of pictures I take, but I get to have "models" that require absolutely NO direction. They just play and they're great at it.

I'm always looking for inspiration from other photographers. A woman named Nina Larsen took this one (I think it's her daughter), and it's so adorable.
