This family features Aiden, a two-year-old bundle of energy who had a slightly different agenda for a morning spent in his favorite park. It didn’t include sitting for stretches of time posing for a guy with a camera. Not when there's a swingset and a pond full of ducks nearby.
These three photos, taken one after the other, offers a nice insight into family dynamics.

Photo 1: Aiden steals the show. One-month old brother Liam is probably pondering what he has gotten himself into being born into this family.

Photo 2: Mom and Dad admonish Aiden to sit still and smile for the funny looking man with the camera. Liam is digging the whole older-brother-in-trouble thing.

Photo 3: The stars align. Maybe not perfectly, but pleasantly enough.
Isn’t that the essence of a family?

The tenderness is beautifully captured ...
Beautiful family, and a great job on photographing them.
These three would be nice to have printed and placed in a large/long frame to view all together as a set.
nice work, and yes that's the essence of a family alright.
