the rote family (again)

Did a shoot on Saturday for the "rote" family. You might remember them from around the holidays. The baby is getting so big. Such a smiley little one (and really, not so little! He’s about 8 months old and wearing 12-24mo’s!) Their older boy is a basketball fanatic and is really good. The dribbling was very impressive! Since he’s so into basketball, that had to be reflected in the pictures for sure. Dad was not happy about the whole picture thing- as most dads seem to feel about me- but I got a pretty positive review in the end from him as being "relatively painless". Works for me! And mom is a woman of infinite patience. I’m not sure how she manages that all the time, but she does. This one is probably my favorite from the session. One kid crying, one kid squeezing mom’s nose, and mom can’t do anything but laugh cause that’s just her life.
