Ayanna and Thomas

Tara, the mom, warned me about these two. She said they were a little camera shy. I shrugged it off, never fearing a challenge. Arriving at the house that morning I took the first 15 minutes or so to just sit on the floor and play with them. You know, let them warm up to me. It worked!!! They were laughing and having fun so I picked up my camera. Instantly, they looked at me like they had never seen me before. After some tears and stare downs, I knew there was not going to be any "posing". Candids were what mom wanted anyway! They were great. They gave me one of my all time favorite images. (shirt up, laughing) I mean can anyone look at that image and not smile? Impossible!
