This was just a perfect night. The weather was perfect, the light was perfect, perfect fall colors and this family was perfect. 🙂 Loved their outfits and just the sweet fun we had together. I am so far behind on blogging that they are about to welcome another member into their family – from China! And I can’t wait to meet him! But these images capture their family perfectly as a family of 5. Love you, P Family!
Mom contacted me over the summer and she was interested in booking a baby plan for her then almost 6 month old son. I LOVE baby planners! It is so fun to watch them grow over the course of their 4 sessions in those first 2 years. So, we booked Mr. C’s first session for October which made him 7 months but Mom wanted a fall look for his session. Plus, he was a solid sitter by that point. 🙂 We had a lovely morning and the park all to ourselves – love fall mornings! These guys are such a sweet family. Not to mention, Mr. C has the best big sister who couldn’t love her baby brother more! Looking forward to all of our future sessions!
Every year my sweet photog friend and I plan a crazy photo shoot day in which we trade services and take pictures of each others family. This year we decided to keep it sweet and simple as we are both expecting little ones in the next few weeks. But I am so glad that we kept the tradition up (we almost scraped it due to feeling huge and exhausted) and captured our families right before adding those new babes. These will be special pictures for these guys as we captured their little family of 3 before becoming a family of 4! I am so excited for this beautiful family as they prepare to welcome their little boy so soon! Love you guys!!
After taking a few years off, my husband’s family again gathered at the beach for a week long vacation. We went back to the Outer Banks and had a great week. I wish I lived closer to the beach to take more pictures there but I will have to settle for the few times I am there during the year. But we took advantage of our location and got some family and kid pictures one evening. Real quick and painless before the sun went down. 🙂 Sometimes as a photographer you wonder why you are putting yourself through dressing your kids and trying to get them to take a picture but then once you have the images you know it is SO worth it. They grow so fast (next year there will be another one in the bunch!) and it is so important to capture their sweet faces regularly. Getting the adults in pictures is equally as important and definitely glanced over a lot of the time. But we now have everyone captured in time. 🙂
Right before our family beach trip, my sister-in-law announced to our family that they were expecting their first baby! We are all so excited for them! To announce to the rest of the world, they wanted to do a clever picture that they could post to all the rest of their family and friends. So, we went out to the beach one evening and captured an announcement picture and some sweet pictures of just the two of them. Can’t wait to meet Baby H in the spring!!! <3
