The start of the season...

I absolutely LOVE starting my busy season with this family.  Not only are they good friends, but they are really creative.  It is always fun to come up with new ideas with them.  This is one of my favorite sessions with them.  It seemed like we were all on the same page and full of laughter and a lot of smiles ! That is a perfect session :)

 The sweetest thing about this mother daughter picture is that little Miss A asked for it.  Mom didn't ask for it, daughter did.  I love that she is feisty and full of spunk and energy...but wants to sit with momma for a picture!

 She wanted another picture with her brother as well....but would NOT look at me.  But, there is something simply beautiful about his arm around her in a casual yet protective way.  Simple beauty these two possess...

I truly love my sessions with this family.  It never feels like work.  It feels like a wonderful morning capturing them through images.  It is a joy to work with you all!  Enjoy these...there are SO many more that I love!  But...have to keep some surprises for you :)

Family...

I am so thankful for attending a wedding almost 3 years ago.  I got to meet a lot of my hubby's family at a wedding, including this lovely family.  Fast forward a few months from that and they are moving out here!  It is so nice to have more family (fairly) close to us!  We get to visit most of the times we head up North from the Valley.  When she asked if I would take their family pictures this past weekend, I was so excited!  I adore these 3 and to be able to capture them was just a joy.  M Family, I hope you love these.  There are more, but these are some of my favorites!  I should be finished with them soon and will get them in the mail to you.  Enjoy the preview though!

 

 I love a photo session when the first picture of the day turns out great!  It always bodes well for what is to come :)

 Sweet father and son!

 There is something about this moment.  It is such a sweet moment which was just not planned.  I don't know if A even knew I took a picture of this!  There is something so amazingly beautiful about the relationship a mother has with her children....

 Mr. G here does not like his picture taken.  He is an adorable goofball and normally runs away from cameras.  Somehow he doesn't run from me...but that does not take away his goof-ball nature.  One day, A and E will look at their grown son and not see as much of the goof-ball.  Hopefully some of these goofy pictures will remind them of these days...

 He has the most beautiful eyes.  I love them and the pure joy and love that come out of them!

I can't help but think of the fact that they are smiling/laughing because my children and their child are putting tree branches in my hair and on my head while I am taking these pictures.  Anything for a good picture...right?!

 

 

I hope you guys love these.  I had so much fun connecting with you through the camera!
