I love family sessions… something about capturing the love and spirit of a family just makes my heart sing when I pull them up on my comptuer screen.  This family was exceptionally special because mom wasn’t sure she even wanted family pictures and was just going to do the kids…   But I was sneaky and talked her into.  (wink wink)  Hopefully she loves them as much as I do!  Thanks for a fun evening!   Enjoy the sneak peak, I can’t wait to show you them all!!!!  

It was so wonderful to see this sweet little boy and his family again this summer for his 2 year old photos.  He was just adorable and showed all kinds of personality.  Enjoy the sneak peak.. I can’t wait to show you more!!!

So… you know growing up you have those friends who you feel like their family is your family.  The type of friend and family that just always makes you feel welcome.  The ones that when you become an adult and have kids of your own and get busy in your own life and crazy schedule you it makes you sad you had lost touch over the years… well, this family is one of those families to me.  Sweet Jen (the adorable curly haired mom holding the baby) was a dear highschool and college friend of mine. We swam for years together and have stories we could talk about for hours (actually probably days).  When she emailed me this past December to see if we could so an extended family session I was so excited to see her again and meet her daughter.  What a great night we had.  So much laughter… smiles.. and fun times chasing the crew of kids around.  I can’t wait to get through all your images.. for now here is a bit of a sneak peak. Hope you love them….

Here they all are, what a great looking bunch!

The night before I met the grandparents and this cute little lady for some pictures… this one just cracks me up. I was practically standing on my head and this little cutie just didn’t think I was funny.  :)  (eventually she did.. no worries)

nothing sweeter than a brother sandwich.. this may be a new favorite image of mine.. just love it!!!!

what a hoot!!!!

I photographed this little cutie last year. You can see it here.  I just love watching my clients grow up! He is cute as ever and I really just couldn’t believe how much he had changed from last year.  We had such a fabulous night at a gorgeous park.  This little man was on the go, that is for sure.. but we still managed to get some adorable images!!!  Can’t wait to show you them all!!!

I have to admit.. I am a bit sad. I can’t believe our year of seeing this adorble little girl and her family  every 3 months has come to an end.  Miss A is just the sweetest, gorgeous little girl there is!  She was so fun and so full of personality.  Her big brother made my heart sing with how much he obviously loves his little sister.  Enjoy the sneak peak, I can’t wait to show you more!
