When I was in Ohio in the Spring, I was able to meet Robin and her gorgeous family! In trying to get all of my amazing Ohio families’ pictures on my blog, I am so embarrassed to say that I misplaced their blog post in the shuffle.

So, with no further delay, please take a look! I am so glad I revisited their photos tonight and remembered what a great time we had!

Seriously, Casey is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.!

Casey clearly has her super tough Dad completely smitten!

Big yawn! (Pictures are HARD work!)

Thanks Robin & Vic!!

Love the way Bubba is looking at Paige in this one!

These eyelashes are killer!

These eyes! Mischievous with a spoonful of charm!

Paige is simply gorgeous!

Puppy Love

I have fallen in love with Brutus. Such beautiful, gentle puppy!

“I wish…”

Thanks, guys! You are such a beautiful family!!

Love this picture of the boys!

And I promise that about 99% of sibling pictures that I shoot end with one sibling trying to lick the other. I swear!

And it STILL makes me laugh every.time!

Thanks guys! It was so great to meet you!!

WOWZA! That’s about all I can say about this one! These two are SMOKIN’!

Handsome Mr. Andrew

And the Handsome Mr. Avery

Brothers making plans!

The morning with these guys was jammed packed with fun stuff! There were airplane races…

home made sail boat races…

& games!

Thanks guys!!!

The feet photo – one of my most popular requests! I love it!

Schmoopie mommy moment

I mentioned they woke up early for their appointment- I had my hand hovered over this photo to “fix” this milk mustache, but I couldn’t do it. It’s perfect! It’s life! He’s so handsome!

While I was taking these shots, Evan was reluctant to stand up front by himself. I explained that I was going to take a picture of him with the rest of the family blurry in the background, with the hopes that talking him through “my vision” would make everything more easy and fun.

It turned out to be pretty stressful for him, and he said he didn’t “want to be blurry”! So sweet…

So then he and Brice used their Super Brother powers on me to make sure I didn’t make Evan blurry… or maybe Brice was doing his show tune routine. I’m not sure…

Taking time for some fun Gary and Elaine lovey, schmoopie pictures, but you have to pay attention to what’s going on behind them (I LOVE this!)

First you see the scheming…

Then the charge…

Then the ATTACK!!!!! (Have I mentioned my love of boys!)

Something to commemorate, ya know, the weeds by…

On a serious note, she’s gorgeous!

Thanks for waking up so early to hang out with me! Love you guys!!!

Pearl.

Could you just squeeze her! I LOVE her name!!

My favorite family pictures are the unexpected ones where everyone is sort of doing their own thing, and not everyone is looking. You really start to get a sense of their personality’s that way.

Tommy with Mom

Tying Pearl’s dress

Tommy with Dad

They have the BEST tire swings in their backyard!

Robbie. So cool! Bubbling with energy and personality.

Duque is a wonderful member of the family. So sweet, laid back.

Now for some fun shots of Merissa, ballet teacher extraordinaire…

These are her toe shoes, hanging on a laundry line with the tire swing in the back. I love the contrast!

Pearl with Mommy

Thanks guys!! I had a great time!!

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!!

She’s expecting. She’s gorgeous. She is so incredibly nice! I cannot wait to meet that little baby in the fall!

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.

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!
