Confession: When Kayla jumped out of her mom’s car today I had tears in my eyes. She has grown SO much. I’ve photographed this pair for (counting on my fingers…) 4 years now? 5? And suddenly, today, I saw the lovely, poised, confident young woman that Kayla is becoming and had literal TEARS in my eyes. She’s only a year older than my eldest daughter…is this what I have to look forward to in just one more year?

At least I could comfort myself with the knowledge that almost-five-year-old Will is still the mischievous little boy that I know and love from last year.

I love this one of the two of them…

…but SWOON and SIGH and WHY WON’T MY KIDS DO THIS FOR ME???

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
