Cousins

When my friend Rachael, that does all of my photography, posted that she was going to be offering a session dedicated to Cousins, I jumped on it. 

The first thing that came to my mind, was how my mom always took me and my cousin Paula to get our pictures done when we were little. I have several pictures of the 2 of us. We were the 2 that were closest in age (literally 5 months apart to the day) and I always thought it was funny that she as a brunette was born to a mom with red hair, and me, the red head, was born to a brunette mom, and when our babies were born, also in the same year as each other, I got the brunette, and she got the red head! What are the chances??

Also, my cousin is moving out of state in a few weeks. We have just gotten so much closer in the past 2 years, and I hate that she is moving away, so I needed to have these done right away, before the opportunity was missed! These are just the few sneak peeks that Rachael let me see, but I cannot wait to see more!

 

 Can you believe that Ava is only 5 months, and Sophie is 15 months and they are almost the same size?? I have a true peanut on my hands lol.

 I love how in this one, I'm looking at Paula, and she's looking at me, and Sophie and Ava are looking at each other as well!

 

Isn't sweet Ava so beautiful?? I'm going to miss out on so much when they move! 

 And how stinking ornery does Sophie look????

She wouldn't cooperate very well for pictures! She kept running away and laughing!

Now this one might just be one of my favorite pictures. I love my cousin so much and it's amazing to me to watch her grow not only as a person, but as a momma. She is truthfully one of my best friends and I can't imagine not seeing her or bringing her more of Sophie's clothing, or just hanging out. I am so bummed she is moving...but, I am trying to look at it as another opportunity to make visits down south more often...afterall, she'll only be about 2 1/2 hours from my parents!! And who knows...maybe in a few years or so, we'll move down that way ourselves. We aren't ruling anything out ;)
