I have known these boys for most of their lives, photographing them for so many years I can’t keep track :)  They’ve turned into young men in front of my various lenses but they continue to be the same funny, teasing brothers I remember from before.  They never cease to teach me a few jokes and tell me stories with lots of detail about school, swimming or other things they’ve been up to lately.  I love that they are so comfortable with me that they keep me informed ;)  Mostly, I love that they crack me up..as well as each other.

We met on a very HOT afternoon last summer and had a few items on the agenda.  One was to photograph them in their most natal summer habitat…the pool.  Brayden and Parker are both swimmers and are active in school as well as  the summer club in Berne. Such a great idea to incorporate things that have meaning to them at this age….we even did some IN the pool..myself included.  I threatened each of them within an inch of their lives that if they splashed me they would pay ;)  They were both perfect gentlemen…but did enjoy getting a little too close for comfort a few times!

Such stud muffins :)  Thanks boys for having fun and making sure I stayed dry!
