I had the pleasure of working with such a darling family today! 

The little boys both wore Union Jack shirts to honor their dad’s Brittish heritage, but we also had a football…so we balanced it out with some American as well =)  Kristie and Oliver are such great, laid back parents and it is obvious that they enjoy their children.  With little ones this age, you have to constantly be moving, so we explored in the woods, raced with dad, and enjoyed the fall weather.  The result was a ton of great images that show a family that enjoys each other. 

Here are my favoirtes, enjoy!

Today I had a portrait session with a family I adore.  Their family session last year had two babies, and now those babies were toddlers and it was a blast watching the older kids interact with the younger. 

Since we had six kids to corral, we played a lot and walked around, giving the kids the opportunity to get used to the camera.  They all looked so cute in their coordinating outfits!  After some more traditional pictures, we did some fun ones as well…and Grammy proved how cool she was by joining in the fun!

Here are my favorite images, enjoy!

Today I had a portrait session with a wonderful family.

Brian is from a large family, so he and Jenn are used to chaos…and this family session sure tested the limits with a dog and two little ones =)  We did a lot of playing, jumping on the bed, funny noises, (ok, and a couple bribes), and wandering the yard capturing all the energy this young family has.  There were so many smiles to capture!  Brian and Jenn enjoy photography and wanted a laid back session that showed their family’s personality, and I was honored they chose me as a photographer.  It was such a blast getting to know them!

Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!

Today I had a wonderful family session.

Photographing young families can be quite a challenge, and they rarely turn out the way you expect…which is why focusing on fun is essential.  For this family, having fun was not tough.  And apparently, fun is throwing the children around…in a good way ; )  I’ve never seen kids love adrenaline like these two boys, and when dad tossed them in the air, I had to really concentrate to keep them in the frame!  Throughout the session, we kept the kids moving and laughing and were able to get some smiling at the camera pictures as well. 

Having two young boys that are full of energy and a little girl that is craving the mobility of her older brothers can be exhausting, but Michael and Kristy do it with kindness, laughter and love.  And that is very evident.

Here are a few favorites from the day, enjoy!
