This recent brother & sister session almost didn't happen due to some ominous, pesky weather, but we moved the session up to early in the afternoon and barely beat the rain!  More from their session after mom & dad come in this weekend to see their images, so stay tuned!

The Moores are one of my favorite families to photograph.  Maybe it's because their kids call me "Photo Man Matt" and are always in a good mood whenever I see them.  Maybe it's because I've known and worked with Lana for years, and we have the same sarcastic sense of humor that allows us to trade jabs without having to worry about offending each other.  Maybe its because Bobby is one of the coolest, most fun dads during a photo session, even offering to unbutton his shirt and show a little extra all in the name of a good photo.  Note: against my better judgement, I did not take a photo of this, so I apologize if you were hoping to see a little more of Bobby in this post. The last time I photographed the Moores was in early 2008, just after little Sam became the newest member of the family, and that session was really more about the kiddos.  This time everybody was part of the gig, and we met up in Chestnut Square in McKinney, TX to create some new images.  Here are my favorites from our session. Loved the light and texture of the wood as a backdrop in this image, and the expressions were perfect.

Two. Handsome. Little. Guys.

There's just something about this image that I love.  I think it's the feeling that these are just two buddies hangin' out, one chucklin' at somethin' the other said or did.  I could see this same image playing out when their 20, and then 40, and then 60.

The best part about this image is that I noticed Max sitting on a small log lookin' all GQ, and right as I was taking this photo, Sam ran over and sat down in front of Max.  Totally something I woulda done as a little brother.

Quote from Bobby during their viewing appointment: "Man, look how studly I look in this photo."

It was right about here that Bobby was telling Max he was going to be Princess Leia for Halloween instead of mom.

The best part about this next image is Max trying to force a smile while Sam's got his crazy smile on while perched on top of Bobby.

Loved this old red porch.
