I love working with these kiddos and watching them grow up!  Normally, we do their portraits indoors, but this year when I suggested outside at one of their favorite places, I was met with an enthusiastic yes, especially since that meant they got to play in the snow!  We started off just running around, playing, throwing snowballs and making snow angles.  Then somehow their mother sweet talked them into enduring the cold in their Christmas outfits.  I love how the images turned out!

Portraits of kids at play is underrated in the portrait world.  Yes, of course lovely smiley pictures are great, but how memorable will it be to have pictures of your running, jumping, smiling, goofy kids down the road?  Lifestyle images for family sessions rock because they show such personality and freeze a moment in time…

…like this moment, when a younger brother beats his sister at a staring contest!

Now for the more formal portraits…the kids rocked it!  You’d never guess it was pretty darn cold outside.

Enjoy the sneak peek!!!
