Going through this family’s pictures made me smile all over again! There were so many fun pictures to choose from, and, they were the first competitors in the Thumb Wrestling Championship. Zak took the title, but I feared the photos of his “Victory Dance” might make him hate me! That is, unless fluttering around like Tinkerbell is the rage on the teenage boy circuit… I guess I just never know these things… (sorry Zak!)

I adore freckles! Awesome!

The family that jumps together…. I don’t know. What? Someone fill in the blank for me…

Ohhhh, sun flare again! Yay!

You guys were so much fun to hang out with! Thanks!!

Besides being stunning, this family is so loving and happy and fun!

Hailey was rockin’ an arm splint after crushing her elbow the weekend before, and, I just have to say that Deb came up with the best idea to end our shoot with. There are no pictures here (I have to save something to send them), but I have three words: whip. cream. fight.

With a side of strawberries.

Oh yeah!

Sister Sandwich!!

Max & Deb

I asked to Deb to look at Max for a little bit. I LOVE the way she looks at him. Completely happy and relaxed.

Solomon-I want to go swimming in your eyeballs. Seriously.

Backgammon in the park.

I love this picture. Solomon could not possibly be any cuter if he tried.

I had so much fun with this family! Gabe is the SWEETEST big brother to his two little sisters! Hanging out with these guys made my belly hurt, we laughed so much!

Love Izzie’s wonderment when she was watching the bubbles!

Playing with siblings isn’t playing until you have stick sword fights! (and a cracker…)

(All of that juicy texture behind Emma is called bokeh. And I think I want to marry it and love it forever.)

Love this squishy moment between Mom and Emma. It makes me get all teary eyed.

(Although I might cheat on my bokeh with this sun flare. I can’t decide which I love more.)

Thanks guys!

Another awesome family from Ohio!

Oh! Hello sun flare! I think I love you…

Thanks so much, guys! I had a great time and am so glad to have met you!!

I had so much fun with this family! Sam was so energetic and fun, and these two girls are so adorable!!

We were setting everyone up for a family shot, and Sam decided to fly! I had my camera up and without warning- there was Sam sailing through the viewfinder! I LOVE Mom’s expression! She’s so laid back!

Double piggy back ride

Some of the many faces of Sam. I just LOVE boys!

It’s hard work being a model!

Thanks Libby and Chris! I had a great time with you guys!!

Last weekend I drove to Ohio for a two day photo extravaganza organized by my sister Nicole. I met so many amazing families and had the best time! (And, I can say with certainty that Ohio grows some incredibly beautiful families!)

Greg, Shona and their little girl Kendyl were the first family I met on day one, and they couldn’t have put me more at ease. Kendyl was a little ham, and frequently made sure I was following close behind with the camera! Thanks for being so wonderful!
