.peace, love and crocs. lisa maksoudian-children’s photographer, san luis obispo

there’s something about brothers that just speaks to me.  maybe because i grew up with only brothers.  lived through so many WWW-esque wrestling matches.   legos.  pyrotechnic escapades.  and possibly even a home-made bomb or two.  (oh the horror of it!)  

and maybe it’s because i revel in the brotherhood of my own kiddos.  the camaraderie, the duels, and the conspiracies.  the fact is, i find brothers incredibly cool and absolutely irresistible!   

mister J and mister B are no exception.  odd as it sounds, we were thwarted by false weather reports on the day of our session.  (yes, we do have SOME weather here on the Central Coast.)  thinking we’d dodge the rain, we headed out mid-day…only to find blindingly bright sunny skies. and when i say blindingly, i mean tears-streaming-down-your-face, red-peepers-that-just-won’t open bright!  and so our adventures took us all over hill and dale.  and these guys were troopers!  (must have had some kind of ice-cream extravaganza promised them!)  

we captured the sweet and the charming, not to mention the ‘crazies’…and this one little picture that i just love.  if you don’t have boys, or if you weren’t raised with brothers you may not understand…but two boys standing in peace is…well sometimes it’s ellusive.  that said, big J and little B shared quite a few ‘together’ moments that just melted my heart.  

like this….

this guy is playing shy…and i loved his charming little glance!  really, he’s the life of the party and super-outgoing.

and big brother had eyes to die for!

see that glance at big brother…that’s what i’m talking about!!!this…well, this is all boy.

and last one in vintage…because it just says ‘nostalgia’.  🙂

thanks for the fun, J&B!  (oh, and thanks ALOT for beating me at tic-tac-toe like 100 times!)

.the birthday boy.

all of my little blog friends on the East Coast are sending me funny notes about how GREEN and LUSH it looks in California right now.  well, i must say….it is INCREDIBLE!!!  we’ve had so much rain, which i love, and the hills are gorgeous right now.  wildflowers are blooming.  little springs are bubbling up.  this is heaven.  and it will last just another few weeks!!!  funny thing about living on the Central Coast, spring comes early and then we get a bit more arid.  🙂

thankfully the skies opened up for little K’s 1 year pictures.  i do believe this grass was almost as tall as he was.  it crushed me to have to step in it and bend it over!  but it sure made a nice soft little nestling spot for pictures.  happy birthday, Mister K!!
