A lot of you may recognize this family and I’m willing to bet just as many of you consider them one of the sweetest families there is! “Dad” and I kind of run in the same circles so we cross paths on lots of occasions. We are both gym parents at Gage, he does some DJ’ing so we have worked weddings together, and he’s a police officer and I…..get into car accidents. 🤣

The beautiful location we chose for their photos is a popular spot and often full of photographers and their clients and I would be lying if I said I didn’t consider taking advantage of having an officer in uniform asking people to move out of my shot, but luckily we didn’t have too much trouble with people being in our way. The only really hard thing about this session was narrowing down which photos to share (so I didn’t really as you can tell).

***I would also like to add the disclaimer (In case Miss Armine happens to stumble across this post) that it was not my idea to stand on the fence post. IYKYK 🤣🤣🤣

There was a time long ago, that the idea of heading to a session for 4 young siblings would have stressed me out! Eventually I learned to relax and have fun with my sessions…and that if I did, my clients would too and the result would almost always be beautiful, genuine memories. It didn’t hurt that THESE four siblings were gorgeous! Even their “outtakes” were keepers!

This fun, extended-family session included little Bryson, mom, dad and both sets of grandparents. It was obvious throughout the session that everyone just enjoyed being around this little guy and that he was so very loved and had an amazing built-in cheering section for whatever he decides to do in life! He really just wanted to explore and especially hang out on the dock and throw rocks into the water, so we did a lot of that because photo sessions should be fun! And when you are as cute as he is, it’s not hard to get good photos!

Fun fact about me that you might not know…I also work for a Trucking Company. No, not as a driver (don’t worry). I stay in the office with the paperwork so you are all safe on the roads. But I recently got to do this fun family session for one of the drivers and his adorable little family (even the 4 legged members)!

This couple took advantage of my 12 days of Christmas sale last year and purchased a session to use later (and saved some money!…smart!!!). They became members of my “backyard club” when we were deciding on a location. I have written about backyard sessions before and how they never seem to disappoint and their backyard was no exception! They have such a lovely little deck with a beautiful “woodsy” view and even a little path into the woods just down the road. They were just the absolute sweetest couple and I’m so glad we captured their love for each other.
