5 rascals. {+ photography}

I am an aunt to 5 gorgeous kids.

I am thankful that they know my name and recognize me.

I love spending time with them and trying to learn how to "parent" from the sidelines.

I went back to find a few of my favorite pictures I took of them...and found some gems.

I think these truly capture their personalities.

 I can't wait to see them running all over during the holidays!

{oldest to youngest}

JACKSON

high energy. full of adventure. protects his sister & brother.

great at throwing things including a football. loves eric & justin bieber.

great with an ipad. good at shakin his bum & tongue :)

ANNIE

she's a helper. loves to be involved. very smart & picks up on a lot.

great at singing & dancing. she told me she makes her bed everyday :)

loves "boy boy" and dora/princesses. loves working on puzzles.

KENSINGTON

She pretends like she is shy but 2 seconds later she's going crazy.

loves high heels/purses/lip gloss. she picks out her outfits everyday..and they turn out pretty cute!

she is a patient younger sister & a protective older sister.

OLIVER

this guy is a mama's boy. he loves anything to do with a ball.

he is happy and content. likes playing hide & seek. sometimes likes to tease annie :)

and i was lucky enough to witnessed his first coloring on the walls the other day.

COLTON

probably the happiest/smiley boy i've ever seen.

he is still young but seems to be fine with observing his siblings most the time :)

he loves oliver & is never scared when you hold him.

these kids are so cute.

i hope i have some of my own that are just as cute one day.

it's fun to watch them grow and see their personalities develop!

i'm also thankful for a camera/photography classes that have made my hobby expand.
