Shefali Lindsey Photography Blog: kids: quinn+holden

It is all about the emotions. And as a photographer, I have really started to pay attention to that one very powerful word: emotions. But, it is not only the emotions that are being captured through a pretty piece of glass. It is about the emotions you see in between. As I spent Sunday afternoon photographing two adorable boys who happen to be one another's best friend, I watched their mum, Kelly, smile. Smiled when they fought. Smiled when they held one another. Smiled when Holden gave me his most cheesiest smile. And smiled when I took her bribe of a "special treat" above and beyond. And a piece of my heart melted. Because I realized how much fun I have documenting a special part of people's lives. Whether it is during a family session, a wedding or kids playing and being themselves.

Quinn and Holden are brothers. Who happen to love like brothers. But, fight like brothers. Quinn plays the role of being a protector. No one and I mean no one will ever hurt Holden. And, this just shows what kind of a man Quinn is going to grow up to be. Holden is just sweet as candy. Or cupcakes. He loves, looks up to and want to be just like his big brother, Quinn. And, I should mention, he is absolutely hilarious! And, at the end of the session, I think they wanted to make Bryan their new best friend. Because he played catch with them. Or was the guy who threw leaves with them. At me.

Kelly, I hope your husband and you love some of the sneak peaks. You two are very blessed to have such energetic, animated and fun boys! They are going up to being two VERY stunning young men!

It took me all about a minute to get these two warmed up to the camera. As soon as I started talking sports to them, they were all about being Quinn and Holden!
