I spent the morning with Parker and Paige at Stan Hywett Hall and Gardens in Akron, Ohio.  It was a beautiful backdrop for these two playful kids.

Zookeeper Parker had all sorts of fun touring the place and searching for wild animals. 


Paige has the cutest curls.  I love this expression.  It's almost as if she is thinking, "Ok lady, I'll look at you for one second but then I'm gonna ditch this wall and go play some more!"
Parker found a bench during his explorations and stopped to hang out for a bit.

Paige decided about halfway through our session that playing in the water fountain would be way cooler than taking pictures.
I have to admit that I think she had the right idea.  This made for some GREAT shots!  What a perfect way for a toddler to have fun, cool off, and look photogenic all at once.

Paige was having so much fun that Parker had to join in on the action too.  I love the perspective that this image gives.  Little Paige looks like such a peanut next to Parker.  He is a little man and she is just about out of the baby stage...precious!
