wow!  this session was great for more than the usual reasons because i got to reconnect with an old friend.  it’s always special when a session has an added bonus feature like that!  we did a family session but just have the kids on here today.  i’ll have more with mom, sara, soon.  i have known sara for about twenty years!  seems like yesterday and forever all at the same time.  life got in the way of us seeing a lot of each other lately but she used to crack me up whenever we were together!  just one of those people who you want to be around.  now i got to know her kids better.  they’re awesome too!  they were game for anything and, as you can see, looked great doing it!  i’m so glad i got to capture a bit of the awesomeness that is this family.

this multi generational session was fun from the start.  i met with sheila and brian for the in-home consultation and knew we’d be a great match!  i even had a say in which outfits everyone would wear!  everything they’d picked out was lovely but i think the combination they ended up with was just right.  i so enjoy helping people have the best shoot possible that captures who they are and will do just about anything to make that happen.  when the actual day of the shoot came, everything fell into place and we had a blast, as you can see.

the different personalities of the kids shined through!

gorgeous couple alert!

so much love within this family.

so touching and tender.  reminds me of when my kids were little.  miss those snuggles.

i love when clients return to see me again for another session.  it means a lot that they like me and trust me to turn their moments into memories again.  i had the pleasure of shooting olivia’s senior portraits last year.  what a lovely session for such a lovely girl.  then, i got to meet her siblings a few weeks ago.  they got along so well i had to ask their mom, anne, what her secret was.  she didn’t really have one but she’s done something very right!  it made my job so much easier since they just had a good time being together.  i’m so happy  to be able to give them images they’ll cherish as the kids get older.  olivia leaves for college in the fall while the other two aren’t too far behind.  glad i could capture the “sibling love” while they’re all still home.

what a little stud muffin!  i like to refer to him as a “mini muffin”.  i can’t get over what a cutie mitchel is! i had the best time and i think he did too!  whether he was riding the trike lent to us from best for babies & big kids too or just hanging in the tree, mitchel was all smiles during our time together.  i loved capturing his fun loving, easy going spirit!

this summer has brought me such joy!  i feel like i have the perfect mixture of babies, families and seniors.  i have so many sessions still to blog and shoot!  this session was such a nice combo of different aged girls.  we used an awesome ottoman and adorable furry kids chair from Best for Babies & Big Kids Too.  it was the perfect mix of cute props and kids that really let me capture the girls.  here are my faces from our session:

gorgeous eyes run in this family!  all three girls have them!
