I’m still catching up on holiday portraits from last year, and this next session features a family I’ve photographed for four years now. Her boys are so full of life and ready to shine in front of the camera. I look forward to taking their portraits; I always have so much fun.
We went to St. Augustine for these pictures, and I feel so lucky to be near such a lovely, historic city. Not only does it offer so much character with its cobblestone streets, coquina walls, and inviting archways, but it’s also so easy to take the same family multiple times to the historic district and still find plenty of variety for backdrops.
My favorite pictures are often the ones where children are just being their silly selves. 
The boys each offer their own take on the statue…
It’s easy to tell how close these brothers are.
The youngest brother reminds me so much of own younger daughter. Not only does he have an amazing smile, but he’s a master of the relaxed, serious expression that works so well in portraits.
And the older brother has a pretty amazing smile, too…
They always know how to make each other laugh.
St. Augustine has such beautiful decorations for the holidays. It’s a great spot to go to for Christmas portraits.
