I recently met this adorable family.  We met for an adventure that was laid back and fun.  Our time together allowed for each of their kiddos to show their personalities.  It was so much fun to get to know each of  them.   

This little lady just turned one and I think she was the reason that mama booked this session.   

How big is Hattie?????  Sooooo big!

Big sister is a beauty.  Look at those lashes.  She has almost conquered Kindergarten, is ready to try rollerskates, and I am thinking this mama can now imagine a flash forward 10 years when she has to book this gal's senior picture session.  

And then there is this guy.  Shy one moment....

but, also so willing to have some fun.  He didn't hesitate to flex me his muscles.  

And then later showed how he uses those muscles! 

The whole crew was up for a little wander to the park for a few candid moments. 

So glad we made the trek because on the way back the sun had dipped down and we got a few golden hour moments.  This is why I love this time of the day.  

The only one yelling "cheese!" this session was the small guy with muscles!  I have been overwhelmed lately with the amount of people contacting me to book sessions. (So much more organized than me to get their photo session on the calendar!)  And as I get to know people I want them to make sure they know that they won't get a perfectly posed cheese picture.  I am not a picture taker.  I am a moment capturing gal.  I do give some direction.  I will help you all get situated and I occasionally  will do a little song and dance to get you all smiling at times.  But, your child's biggest smiles happen when they forget I am there to take pictures and they are having fun with you, or each other, or even me.  Moments.  This family definitely got a whole bunch of moments of their "now" captured.  Thanks, E family!
