a couple weeks ago i got to hang out with another amazing family. (i so love my job)

carrie called me several months ago to book a family session and was referred to me by another good friend and local photographer Sandi Hicks.  i was super excited when Carrie said she wanted to have the session at her house. i love it when i get to go into a families house and get to hang out with them. everyone is sooooo much more comfortable. the kids are totally into it since they can run around and play and it doesn’t feel like you’re doing a photo session.  it’s much more laid back. if we need to stop we can. if the kids need a snack, ok. if they want to answer the door w/ their favorite megazord in hand…awesome.

that’s what it was like w/ the quails. little james wanted his megazord nearby….totally ok. we started outside and then worked our way inside. the kids totally rocked. carrie and big daddy james rocked. it really made me enjoy photographing families again. it was really quite effortless. no need to make any of them look good….as they are all flippin’ gorgeous. (i so love my job)

carrie, james, hope & lil’ james-thank you for inviting me into your home and letting me get a little glimpse of your life!

i loved the next shot because lil’ james found a rollie-pollie and he was completely enamored with it. i love watching kids experience things like that. i mean, rollie-pollies! you gotta love ‘em!   

seriously, is it no wonder their children are adorable? i told you! gorgeous!
