Such a sweet fam, and I love these close-up cuddly shots of them. I’m so glad we got photos taken for them before they had to move (seriously, how are all my clients mid-move right now?!).
The story of how they found me cracked me up because the husband and wife were separately and simultaneously referred to a photographer by two totally different people who had recently had family photos taken. When they compared notes on who the photographer was they were each referred to, they realized they were both talking about me! Awww, I felt so special.
Also, this was probably the most easy-going baby I’ve ever worked with in my life. He was totally chill the entire time. Unreal.

I love this girl’s smile. (In this case, this girl just happens to be my girl.)
She has a ton of spirit, which she uses for both good and evil (hello, public tantrums).
She’s 18 months old and just started really talking lately, and the sound of her little words coming out of her mouth is the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard. She’s so proud of herself, and it’s so fun hearing her practice talking, like when she was holding an old flip cell phone to her cheek this morning while pacing around the house and saying, “Hello! Hi!” and saying, “Buh bye!” before she closed the phone and smiled proudly at me.
She’s been saying new words everyday, and this evening she even surprised me by saying, “Hi Turkledog!” as our dog walked past the bathroom door after her bath. What?! Where did that come from? She still seems to have trouble with some single syllable words but then busted out that four syllable phrase! I guess she hears that a lot around here.
Oh yeah….she also has a new favorite storage facility for her index finger.

I mentioned in their sneak peek that their session was more adventurous than most, and it’s so true. We were stepping over manure (and I’m sure I was stepping through it with my face to a camera), the oldest girl tripped over some barbed wire hiding under some leaves that gave us all a panic attack (she ended up being fine, but understandably upset), we were wading through a wide creek with a one year old who just recently learned to walk, we had cows, we had a pony, we had a donkey, we had a husband who got called away to operate. We had quite a session.
BUT, it was all worth it, and it all came together! And I love the sweetness in these photos. I know I have several faves.

But probably my favorite family shot I’ve done in a long time in addition to their tractor shot.
