A few weeks ago we had a gorgeous afternoon with Emily and Cru at Stanley Park! It was the perfect afternoon for a swing under the shade of a giant tree! Big thanks to Darrin, who gets an all-star dad award for hanging the pallet swing, he ties a mean knot 🙂
Cru is all cheeks these days and Emily is ALL smiles! Have you ever seen someone smile with so much enthusiasm?!
ENJOY!
I look forward to this shoot EVERY YEAR! This year when I was talking about family photos with Kara and she mentioned she might not need updated family pics since they just had pics at a family wedding, I was about ready to BEG her to let me take photos from them, but lucky for me she said “maybe we can do just the girls” YAY! A few weeks later she texted me a pic of this little stand she bought on Varage Sale and asked how she should paint it….from there the apple stand idea was born. With some buckets from her mother in law, some from my garage and some from MCC, filled with apples from Auntie Kendra and a delicious smelling pie from her too we were ready to go!
As I was editing these pictures I could believe how grown up the girls were looking. Sarah was just a baby during our first summer of Jack and Ruby weddings….how time flies! I always say how lucky I am that photography brings wonderful people into my life and Kara is one of those people. If it wasn’t for photography we might have never connected and since our first lunch at Gingerwood Lane she has become one of my dearest friends. I will always admire her talent as a photographer, I think she has more talent in her shooting finger than I have in all of me….and in addition to her talent as a photographer I admire her skills as a mother, wife and just as a good person in general. She has a helping heart, always willing to help anyone with words and actions. She walks her talk! And it shows in her girls who are just as kind and sweet as their mom is. Her words of encouragement and comfort always seem to show up on my phone just when I need them. I am so thankful for her and her friendship and feel so lucky that she lets me capture these memories for her family year after year.
ENJOY!
Well this was a special shoot marking ten years of marriage! So great!! Mary put so much thought into planning this session, from location to wardrobe and props, it was all thought out with so much care!
We had a gorgeous evening and shot until the sun started to dip below the trees! The kiddos are so photogenic….dimples for days! So cute! We had so much fun together, they each had a chance trying to help me take a picture with my camera….photographers in the making I tell ya!
ENJOY!
I love my time spent with this family! We met up for a little adventure at the beginning of September and during the walk out to our spot we found fuzzy caterpillars, spiders, crickets….lots of excitement for little boys!
So much love between this family! I love all the smiles and giggles…..they are just as much fun to photograph as they look!
ENJOY!
