Ever since "Go Texan Day" this year in Houston, Texas, I've been wanting to take some photographs of my twins in their cowboy getup that their Nonnie had bought them. I might be a biased father, but I think they look awfully cute in these costumes. My idea was pretty simple: have them dress up in their cowboy/cowgirl costumes and pose them outside next to their bouncing horse toy that their Uncle Emile had bought them two Christmases ago.
Here is a picture of the setup:

Here is the list of equipment that was used:
Audrey was the first of the twins to hop onto the horse and be my model. She did a great job, wouldn't you agree?

Next up was William. William is the wilder one of the twins and this photo really shows off his personality.

Unfortunately, we had already had a VERY busy day, and this photoshoot did not start until around 7 pm. And without dinner. I was not a smart "Daddy" and the photoshoot did not last as long as I had wanted mainly because the cowboy and cowgirl became tired and restless "natives"!
This photo really shows how difficult and tiring it is to be a model!

I know I really want to revisit this photo session when my models are in a better mood.
So, what are you thoughts? Please leave a comment (or two) below! Thanks!
