I haven’t had that many families with older children, namely teenagers, but if all the families could be like this family from Thanksgiving weekend, I would want to book them all! I had so much fun with these four gorgeous girls and their wonderful parents. The minute they showed up at the park in their beautifully coordinated outfits and stunning smiles, I knew this was going to be a great session. The whole family is so easy going and easy to work with. While I was shooting, I could just feel all the love in this family and it was such a joy to edit their images and see all their emotional connections again.

During the shoot, I really admired these girls for having each other and they seemed to get along so well and love being together.

Although the priority was to get family and sibling shots, I wanted to be sure to capture the connection between each of the girls and Mom and Dad. I wanted to be sure the girls each had their moment with Mom and Dad.

A few more sisterly shots…with these beautiful girls, it was too hard to stop shooting!

Can’t you just feel all the love in this family??

Remember this family from last fall? We were back at the same park to take their last family portraits before the arrival of their newest family member. I just love working with them. They are one of the nicest couples ever and their son is just adorable! He was not as into taking pics this time but we got some wonderful shots. Thanks for a fun morning and I can’t wait to take new portraits in a few weeks!

I love this moment!

She couldn’t have picked a more coordinating outfit! She has just a perfect basketball belly!

I think she always looks fabulous in red…

And I had to mock this one up as a canvas. It’s just perfect!

You may remember the adorable T boys from September when baby brother C was born and I did his newborn session. I met up with them this weekend to do a quick mini session for the holidays. Big brother R just turned 3. It doesn’t seem that long ago that R and my daughter Bella were just babies when we first met! His mom is one of my dearest friends. Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks because I’ll be back with baby brother C for his next milestone session!

The G family was one of my first clients and here they are with their two adorable boys! I did younger brother O’s newborn pics a year ago, and here he is Mr. Independent walking around and not wanting to be held back! One year olds can be tough because they are mobile but don’t have any regard to listening at all! Older brother N was loving the camera though!

So serious, but catching them sitting and looking was a rare thing!

I had the privilege of doing a session for this family today. Dr. H saved my son’s life as she was the OB that did the very emergency c-section when I had a prolapsed cord. I had so much fun with them today! Their son M took awhile to warm up as most toddlers do. He really made me work for those smiles, but by the end, he was running up to me and giving me big hugs! He absolutely LOVES trains and would not leave his train James (good thing even James was color coordinated with the family!) Enjoy the sneak peek!!
