This cute little baby is so sweet and mellow. He’s just a “go with the flow kind of guy” (complete opposite from my little ones, but I love them). He’s quite the ladies man too. Yeah, he’s got a thing for the ladies and the ladies have a thing for him. Poor little man wasn’t feeling too well when we took the photos, but he’s normally a smiley, flirtatious little dude. He may be sweet and mellow now, but I’m guessing his parents are going to have to keep a close eye on him when he’s older.

His parents just totally adore him. As they should.

Here’s just a quick sneak peak…

I love this one. He’s not even 10 months yet and can’t stand on his own, but with a little help from the wall, his arms out for balance, and some concentration and sheer determination, he was glowing with accomplishment. Too cute.

Stunning. Pure and simple.

Take a beautiful and loving family, put them in a gorgeous setting with fabulous evening light, add in a well coordinated wardrobe, and throw in a photographer who loves what they do, and you end up with some simply stunning photos.

I had the pleasure, and it was truly a pleasure, to photograph my friend Jackie and her boys. What a fun little session we had. I think it was only about 45min long and so much fun! Each of her boys, husband included, have such personalities, and they’re all different. Dad is super sweet and you can just tell he’s gaga over Jackie and their insanely cute kids. Their oldest son kept suggesting different compositions and posed like a perfect model. I turned him bright red when I said “If only I were 8 years old again.” Their middle son cracked me up. I could create a separate blog posts with 20 images of him – all with different expressions. And their baby has the sweetest most gentle soul and eyelashes that could sweep the floor.

This needs to be a canvas. A big canvas. I just love how the background looks like its wrapped around them.

I looooooooove this one. Totally one of my favs.

This one pretty much captures the boys’ personalities

Love their expressions here. Pure love.

What mom wouldn’t adore a photo of her four boys.

Dad was doing a funny dance behind me and the kids were busting up.

Gorgeous.

Photographer’s trick: let boys run at the beginning of a session. Its like taking your puppy for a long walk before attempting to groom him.

You know when you see a couple and you can just tell that they are truly and deeply in love? Yeah, that.

I’m not sure which photo I like more.

What a little heartbreaker.

Another one of my favs. I had a hard time deciding whether to post in color or B&W.

Did you like these? Would you like to fill your walls with gorgeous photos of your family that make people just stop and stare? Shoot me an email or give me a call and we’ll create some photos that you will cherish – and I promise you’ll love the experience.

Some photographers prefer more to shoot than to edit. There are some that love to edit more than shoot. I think I love both shooting and processing equally, but for different reasons. I love shooting because I get to interact with my clients. I get to have a vision and record it with my camera. I never know what kind of expressions or looks I’m going to get. I love processing the photos because I can sit and stare at what I have captured. I can look at a photo that only happened because I happened to press the shutter at that exact right moment, and then I can just sit and admire the love and sweetness that I see.

Sweet is the word that came to my mind during and after this session. There was something about this young family that was just sweet. I have no other way to describe it. Not only were they sweet with the way they talked to each other, but you could feel it in the way they looked at each other. You’ll see what I’m talking about in the pictures below.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Look at how calm and serene little man is knowing that mom and dad are right there. Look at how mom’s expression is overflowing with adoring love and dad just looks so proud. I just love it.

Isn’t he the cutest?

Another one of my favorites. Dad was just out of frame, ready to jump in and pull the rocks out of his mouth. Little boys sure do love to eat rocks.

Again, sweet. It just makes my heart melt. Look at little man’s hand on dad’s face.

I love this age. They love to stand and point and smile.

You know why I love these? 1) They make me smile. 2) He just got his top teeth in a day or two before our session and you can totally see them. Such a sweet personality on this little guy!

Just gorgeous.

Just sweet. There’s that word again!

I can only imagine what dad is saying to mom.
