Many of you may know this lovely family, I've worked with them a few times and it is always a pleasure! We did this session right before they moved to a new town, and they wanted some pictures in front of their home because it was their first and they had made a lot of memories here. :) It was also time for some one-year-old pictures of their youngest, so we had lots of fun with some cake and balloons and even a hot air balloon ride. ;) Get ready for some cuteness!
Finley Family
It's always an honor when an old classmate from college asks me to take their pictures, so of course I felt a bit special when Alyssa asked if I'd take a little trip to Illinois to photograph her family. :) This was a crazy fun shoot, as the whole family seems to have a joke up their sleeve and they are just all around silly! We took a few traditional family shots, but we had to get some that showed who they are-- so we have a few extra silly ones than normal.
Gray Family
This little session had a few ups and downs-- it was a nice and warm summer evening, but the location was lovely and we had an amazing sunset; the family was crazy adorable, but the sweet little girl had shots that morning and was not quite in the picture taking mood; and after we were done and had taken some lovely pictures, I drove off and left my prop box with my camera on top of it sitting in the driveway! :) Sometimes you guys only see the pretty pictures and don't know quite the whole story-- but this is one of those sessions that I look back and smile on because we had to work together to get the perfect shot, get a little extra creative to grab some smiles, and it was topped off with an amazing blonde moment on my part (I can say that because I'm naturally blonde. ;) ) I love the pictures we got from this session, and that it is definitely one of those I can point to and say, "That's real life"-- the good parts and the crazy parts!
