a little magic.....

I can finally share with you some images from a holiday session I did for a friend. The photos were under wraps for a while until all her holiday cards had been sent out, but I finally can share them! But before I do, I need to set the story up a bit.

My friend has two children, who are MY children's best friends. My friend had this image in her head of what she wanted, her son dressed up all handsome with a top hat holding a magic wand. Her daughter would be in a beautiful dress, holding a fairy wand. We would set it up to look like they were putting spells on each other. She wanted her holiday card to read: Have a magical holiday! Sounds like a great idea!!!

Now, here are the children:

super handsome all dressed up. But there is a hint of mischief in this boy's grin, wouldn't you say?

And below, the beautiful sister, glowing with beauty.

and I explained to the kiddos the concept of using their wands on each other, but I think the brother had some ideas of his own.....

i have laughed and laughed over this photo. and so did my friend, who by the way ended up using this photo for her greeting card.

In fact, I am still laughing about this photo!

but to show that these two CAN pose all nicey-nice, i wanted to add this one too:

awwwww......
