Mandy and I worked together one summer when I was fresh out of college and she was still in high school. We hit it off then but lost touch after that summer. It turns out she is now close friends with several people I grew up with so we recently reconnected and she asked me to capture photos of her adorable kids, Jack and Liam. Lucky for me, the whole family is gorgeous. <em>Un<\/em>lucky for Liam&#8211;he had a raging double ear-infection and the whole affair was a bit much for him. Poor little guy. But I still managed to grab some great shots when he wasn&#8217;t rolling on the ground in pain. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Mandy has been extremely patient waiting for these images so to please her I am going to post a bunch! How can I not? Her kids are too cute!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_579\" style=\"width: 556px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579\" class=\"size-large wp-image-579\" title=\"img_6761-edit\" src=\"https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_6761-edit-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"img_6761-edit\" width=\"546\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_6761-edit-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/ebroderickphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/img_6761-edit-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little Liam.
