McKenna&Ayden | Dayton Family Photography

These two. These two kiddos are so flipping cute i can barely stand it. When Allison asked me about doing photos of her niece and nephew, i was equal parts excited and nervous. Photographing kids these ages alone, with no parents to hold them down (haha) isn’t always easy. I’ve said before and i’ll say it again, the littles always run the session, what they want is what goes. But these kids, these kids were SO good! I couldn’t believe they were only 4 and 2! well behaved, cooperative and ca-ute kiddos?! win win win! These photos were a surprise for Allison’s sister so everything was a secret. She styled them perfectly, picked out the clothes themselves and then changed them before taking them back home. Thats a good sister! I hope you guys love these images of your little munchkins!

So first, meet beautiful McKenna:

And her equally adorable little brother, Ayden:

they love each other. *melt*i’m quite hilarious while shooting, at least Ayden thinks so. lolthey really were just the sweetest babes.and just like that, an airplane or helicopter flew overhead and i lost them, haha. But i thought this was just as precious with her little arm around him.

a favorite memory/moment from the kids’ lives so far (as told by Auntie Allison):

What I love about Kenna is she is the most caring little girl that I have ever met. The best memory I have to prove that is, when Jimmy and I took her to Kings Island while riding the bumper cars every car that she bumped into

she immediately apologized to the little kid.I also love that ever since she was little she has called me Aunt Son and still to this day she continues to call me that.

What I love about Ayden is how whenever you walk into a room he just lights up with excitement and runs to greet you.

Being only 2, he still knows just what to do to pick you up when you are feeling down. But don’t let all the mushy stuff fool you, because he is definitely all BOY.

He loves his trucks and cars and will even put up his dukes when asked “put em up!”
