The Fun Family

I am finally getting around to posting pictures from a wonderful session with The A family. It has taken me so long because I love pretty much every picture and I could not narrow down my favorites to post. Getting photographs like this made me happier than I could have imagined. I felt like I truly captured this family exactly how they are right now. They were in their own environment, doing their thing and mom was not stressed about getting that “perfect” picture, so in turn we got over 100 “perfect” pictures. They were such a fun family and it was so wonderful to capture the connections they have with each other. You guys were so much fun and I am looking forward to continuing to document my family.  I wanted to share what Darlene wrote after seeing a few of the photos: “Do you even realize how much you have touched our family?  The power you have to document peoples lives forever is priceless.  I am not kidding when I told you that I was in tears when I was viewing those photos.  Believe it or not, I don’t photograph well but you made me look so clear, happy and do I dare say beautiful?  You captured who I am right now in my life.  One more thing, then I will shut up….I was sick on my birthday, but the whole weekend will be forever in my memory as being the best time because of the fun we had getting our pictures taken then seeing just 3 pictures was a gift that over shadows the time spent in bed and my house being trashed because my family can’t seem to function without me on my 2 feet.”

Aww..that is what makes me smile at the end of the day and keeps me taking pictures.

Adrienne & Gina

How lucky was I to get to photograph these two beautiful ladies?! Adrienne and Gina have been friends since college and asked if I could take a few pictures of them while Adrienne was in town. Since Adrienne and I are budding photographers we had to do more than just take a few pictures. When I spotted the blue garage in the neighborhood, I knew it would be the perfect place for a little shoot. And what can grown women do to make sure their pictures look cool and fun…put on colorful scarfs and jump of course!

I thought it would be a good idea to take some pictures of Adrienne that she can use when she launches her photography website soon. This one is definitly my favorite.

And we couldn’t leave Gina out…

I was so happy to be able to get some photos of Adrienne and her beautiful daughter Ivy as well. I think my favorite thing to take pictures of are moms and their kids. I just love being able to see and capture the connection that moms have with each of their kids.
