Nola is my brother's daughter and at least once a week, when I pick up my kids from school she comes home with us too. Last week, it was just Beans + I. We got Happy Meals, ice cream, and went back to my house so she could play Barbies. She let me take five minutes of portraits, and she chose a dress she liked just for her photos that she thought her mama would like. When her dad picked her up, she made sure we got one of her brother too on the same day so her mama could see him too.  Watch the slideshow at the end if you'd like see every single image.

Portraits of children really get me.
