Last year I fell in love with these red-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, lovely children... and I was SO thrilled when my dentist has me to do their photos again!! They even added a sweet baby into the mix, making their lovely family a nice even 6. :)

We met up by the Kauffman Center downtown Kansas City and explored the long grass and awesome architecture! 

Mom picked out the most beautiful headpieces for the girls, and I just LOVED the personality it added to their photos!

So sweet!

I was so jealous of the girls' dresses! They loved twirling and it made me want to be little again. :)

I love how this family loves each other. Their children obviously enjoy spending time together and the deep bond they share is so evident! 

Silly kids... :)

Dad can carry all his girls at once!!

Mike and Chris, thanks SO much for letting me photograph your beautiful family yet again! It was SO much fun! :)

Being an aunt is an awesome thing - I get to snuggle, play, spoil and then leave them at home for their mother to sort out! :) These kids know me best with a big, black, "clicky" thing in front of my face and when I was visiting back in May we were able to venture outside for some birthday photos. Seriously, you guys... birthday photos are the best. :)

It's a big tradition in their family. Get dressed up, get your hair 'did, then wander around with Aunt Amanda while she tries to think of ways to make them giggle. 

But serious faces work just as well. :)

And crazy faces... 

Then we drag mom into the yard (make up or no make up!) and make her snuggle too! 

It makes for wonderful birthdays. :)
