Capturing their lil Personalities

I am so blessed to have two very sweet, but very different babies. There are things that definitely make them siblings: they make the same jokes, say the same weird "Carter-isms", even have similar facial expressions.

But at their core they are very different souls.

One of my favorite aspects of photography is capturing how different they are.

Syd loves attention. She seeks it out and relishes when she's in the thick of it. She's girly in a way I never really remember being. She loves all things pink and frilly. But she also likes to play with the boys, though not get dirty. She has an intensely artistic side and is completely self centered. She loves potty jokes & eats meat like it going out of style.

My Berto Bear covers his eyes when people are looking at him. He is very sensitive to peoples feelings & will sacrifice so that others are happy. But he's also extremely aggressive, like a little tank. He will bowl you over if you get in his way. His sense of humor is very dry & subtle. We often don't even realize when he's joking until he cracks a smile.

P.S. Another example is the picture from the Dora post. Syd is sitting dramatically distraught while Berto climbs miles above her unafraid of falling. But they both sure like being naked!
