"Look Emily, there is an airplane up in the sky"

I have had a long standing relationship with this family.  Emily, has been my toughest critic and greatest "assistant" over the years.  Now that she has a little brother, her attention is diverted to his safety and well being. 

During this session, it was precious to see him showing her the airplane flying over (even more charming, given that their father is a pilot).  I was blessed to see Emily just being herself; entertained by her brother's world. I'm sure she would have had OTHER plans on where we should have stood or who sat next to who, but you know sometimes its nice to catch her just being the delightful engaging child she is, and not on the "job".

By the way, it was HER idea to lean into her mom like that! (did I mention she's an excellent assistant)
