On the cusp

This mom mentioned on booking that she wanted to get portraits soon, as her girls are just hitting that transition age.. no longer little kids but not quite teens yet.. the infamous TWEEN years. It's such a hard age.. one minute you're stuck following baby rules, and the next expected to behave as mature as an adult. Enticed by the sparkles of the oh so grown up years to come, but not yet ready to give up all of your childish playthings. What's a parent to do? (hint: lots of patience, and just as much aspirin!) :)







The only thing I was truly surprised about.. mom warned me they were both in the awkward stage.. but I arrived to find two completely stunning girls... daddy's going to need more than aspirin to handle the years ahead... I recommend a big stick and some serious patience!
