Kids Portraits in Surprise Arizona

I went to Arizona in December for a brief trip to visit family. I hate that they live so far away, but now that the kids have iPods it makes Skype calls super easy. Here are the latest images of my sister's fabulous five!

Above, in orange, is my nephew that has autism - he is always a challenge to shoot. I would say these are some of the best images he has ever taken! +Andrea Roberts

I love going to see my sister and her 5 children! Honestly though I usually only last 3-4 days and then I need a break, but the first few days are always a ton of fun. We typically try to plan fun and educational activities each day; which can be a challenge in the Arizona summers. So I prefer to go in the winter.

Usually the last day I'm there we do a photo session with all the kids. This time the oldest was gone, typical of a sixteen year old. And another child wasn't really in the mood. Having a stranger take family pictures definitely has its advantages!  However, my niece is always ready to pose, anytime. So I always have at least one model.

The newest and last addition to their family is a face maker. Love it! I had to share a few of the images - I couldn't resist.
