Gracie (1) & Elijah (3)

How cute are these kids? I really enjoyed photographing these adorable siblings on a HOT summer day at a new location! Their mom is another AOII connection to me from college as well!

I learned that their birthdays are one day and two years apart. They will be sharing a birthday party this year, but they didn't have to share their birthday cupcakes! I enjoyed seeing how Gracie loved to be messy with her cupcake and Elijah didn't want to get any icing on his fingers or clothes.

Enjoy these pictures that, to me, personify summer!
