Another one of our favorite families!  Every year, I look forward to seeing Adri and Brynne in their cute outfits.  Click HERE to see their 2018 photo shoot.  I remember the poofy little dresses and shiny shoes…now the girls are so grown up!  This year they were exuding kiddie elegance. I love their family outfit color coordination…thanks, Mom and Dad!  It was a great afternoon with beautiful lighting (we were blessed with a couple of these this year!).  The sister shots always melt my heart and make me wish I had a sister.  Adri and Brynne, you rocked the dance/gymnastics moves!  You will always be one of our most treasured families.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Our shoot definitely did not start off as planned.  They completely shut down the road in both directions, so we were unable to reach our destination.  After a flurry of phone calls and texts (don’t worry, Edson was driving), we decided on an alternate location.  Luckily, we found an even better spot!  The lighting was beautiful, and we didn’t have to fight with anyone for our shots (so I don’t have to Photoshop out  people from the background of their photos!).  Alex and Matty were amazing!  Click HERE for their 2018 shoot.  They seemed to be having fun running around, and they seemed to shine in the afternoon light.  Thanks for being so patient and flexible, Mom and Dad!  It actually worked in our favor  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

Mila was a bundle of adorable personality!  She was so happy and friendly, and skipped from tree to tree in excitement.  I don’t think I ever asked Mila to pose for me, I just followed her around the forest and took photos of her when she smiled at me.  The lighting was beautiful that afternoon, and it just emphasized her joy.  DJ (her furry brother) also did an amazing job, despite the numerous distractions.  I’ll post her 2018 photo shoot in a future post so you can see how much she’s grown over the past year.  Same adorable smile, just a year older!  In the meantime, you can click HERE for her 2017 photo shoot with us.  Mom and Dad, it was another fun and beautiful photo shoot with all of you.  Thanks for always being so easy to work with…we love you!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was only a couple of months since her newborn shoot (click HERE to see E’s newborn shoot), and she was already sitting up.  Not many babies are able to prop themselves into a sitting position, much less hold themselves up at this age.  Mom said she was practicing for her shoot, and we think that the practicing really worked!  We also met E’s furry little brother.  Pet/child photo shoots are notoriously difficult.  Trying to get dogs to sit still next to their new younger sibling and look at us is often times quite difficult…but these two handled it extremely well!  It was great seeing you again, Mom.  Can’t believe how much little E has grown in just a couple of months!  Such a cutie  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

We had an incredible downpour the evening before our original scheduled shoot date.  We had crazy weather last month!  Hot, humid, rainy…every single day.  Fortunately, the weather on our reschedule date was much better, thank goodness!  Loved the energy that Joshua, Luke and Kensie brought to our session.  Everyone participated, and did a great job with their individual, sibling and family shots…loved the patience!  Thanks for a great photo shoot, Mom and Dad!  It was a pleasure meeting you and your amazing family  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was a shoot full of smiles and fun  🙂  We’ve had the pleasure of seeing Claire a couple of times this year for solo shoots (click HERE to see her most recent shoot with us), but this was the first this year that we saw all of the cousins together!  Click HERE to see their previous shoot with us.  They have all grown so much since the last time we saw them.  Grandma and Grandpa were also there for a “Grandparent-Grandchild” photo…these are always fun to look at over the years.  Kids go from being carried by their grandparents, to sitting in their laps, to standing next to/behind them in future shoots.  Loved seeing the groupings:  individual families, cousins, siblings, grandparent-grandchildren.  The kids were troopers throughout the entire shoot (it can be hard for younger children to sustain attention during a larger family shoot with multiple family units).  Lots of smiles, and a spectacular view at the end of the shoot.

It was great seeing you all again this year!  Thanks for coordinating and meeting us for our shoot.  Here’s your sneak peek:
