Erin and Josh

One of my favorite sessions ever was this past weekend with the lovely Erin and handsome Josh!  Partly because it's a nice change to work with "big kids ;)" who can be coached ever so effortlessly through a photo session!  But mainly because Josh and Erin are just the greatest kids- kind, polite and beautiful, too!  Their mom has done a great job of having them photographed regularly as they've grown, and she will be rewarded with lovely images to preserve her memories of this wonderful time in life!

"Mamaw's Blessings"

Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman named Jenny.  Jenny had two lovely daughters.  One of those lovely ladies had two beautiful daughters of her own. One of those beautiful daughters also had two adorable daughters!  Now Jenny, this lovely matriarch, has a large, happy family with lots of girls and each of these girls has brought fantastic men into the family.  “Mamaw” is nearing her 90^th birthday (I know, it’s hard to believe- this family has some good genes!) and so her family thought it was an appropriate time to have some images made of the extended family.  I love extended family sessions.  These are images that you never catch on your own, and they will be absolutely cherished by so many for years and years to come!

 Hip, hip, hooray!  Everyone in this family was a real trooper.  But, after stepping in dog poop, swatting gnats, navigating a couple of temper tantrums (not saying if it was the adults or kids!) and sweating profusely, I think everyone was happy when this session was finally done!

The Reid Family

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting the Reid family.  They wanted to especially capture Jonah in his second year, as well as get some images of big sis Isla and of the entire family spending time together.  We had fun exploring a lovely park, playing peek-a-boo and chasing bubbles. I was reminded of how special this time is in a family's life, how quickly it passes, and how important it is to document it along the way!
