Happy Kids: The All-Natural Antidepressant

Who can’t be happy around happy kids?  Veta and I know first hand how much spirits can be lifted by genuinely happy children.  While we were in wonderful spirits yesterday to begin with, our little mini-session with Sasha and Dena was like an extra shot of pleasure on top of a wonderful day.  We know that these happy times are the memories that Moms and Dads will remember most throughout the years to come.  Sure, there are times when children are unhappy – just like us adults.  But when they’re genuinely happy, their joy is unrestrained.  That’s when we love to photograph.  Enjoy these few photographs from our wonderful time yesterday.  I think if you look into these hard enough, you can almost see the giant grins that adorned these two photographers’ faces behind the lens:)

The first series of four, I just had to post.  Dena’s little hat is actually a shock-resistant hat/helmet that toddlers wear for those first few weeks that they learn to walk.  They’re quite popular in Europe.  I’d just never seen one here and I happen to think that this one is adorable.  Perhaps it’s just Dena’s glee that makes it so.

I know now EXACTLY why you two had soooo much fun, and yes, I could see the smiles and hear the quiet chuckles from the both of you!! These two will be “partners in crime” many times. I just thought about the time Jeff and Joanna road their hot wheels down Weems Road. Never did know for sure who really opened that gate:)))))) Just looking at these photos made my day!!

These are adorable beyond words!! I especially loved the shots from the back while they were looking out. They looked like they were sharing a special secret only they understood. They made me laugh and smile!
