Sweet Esme slept like a dream for her newborn pictures. Both grandmas were present for the photo session, so there were always eager arms available to give her hugs, squeezes, and kisses. And check out the teddy bear; it was made from her Daddy’s military uniform from the English Army.

Let them run around and be kids!  That’s what I tell parents when they show up for pictures.  It’s unrealistic to expect a two year old to sit and smile for pictures, especially when they are surrounded by wide open space which are made for running free.
