{s} family

this family is amazing. i have so much respect for their passion for adoption and the orphans of the world. i always enjoy my conversations with this mom. whether frivolous or about justice for the voiceless, she gives me a perspective i generally haven't considered. she's also just plain fun to hang out with.

mayfield park is always a bit of a gamble. i never know if there's going to be a wedding going on or not. this was one of those days it was closed for a wedding. fortunately the area around it is just as pretty as the inside. this sweet pea has a sibling on the way. congratulations!!!

editorial was all i could think as i edited the h families session. all the credit goes to the family. mom styled them to perfection. and this little man was such a blast to work with. his cuteness is effortless.

oh, i love the colors and the trees in theses photos. i sat down to edit this session with a sense of trepidation. when i showed up to our location, the domain, it was to find dogapalooza was going on. pop-up's and dogs everywhere. i put on my most confident face and said we can totally do this. and i'm in love with what we got.

this family is precious to me. i have known them since before we had children, we went through our first birthing class together and our first born's (is that even a word) have been great friends for the past 4 years.  to get to photograph their newest arrival was such a treat.

there is a free spirit to this family that you instantly fall in love with. so easy to photography, full of candid moments. just perfect.

there are kids that you see on a regular basis, who you don't know, but you've always noticed for whatever reason. perhaps they are gregarious, or they have that beautiful hair that no adult naturally has. whatever the reason, they stand out. i have always noticed these two. i have noticed how polite they are, and how good natured they are, and how they legitimately like their parents. which is saying a lot given their ages. there is a genuineness to this whole family that made my session with them effortless.

i had a hard time narrowing down this session for my blog. there were so many great shots. i've known this mama for a while now and was so excited when i found out she was going to have a baby. it's now a year later and baby k has turned one. mom and dad are over the moon for her. its so amazing to be able to capture those expressions of love with my camera. it's what i love most.
