It seemed like this shoot went super quick- like they got there, i photographed them in 5 minutes and they were gone. I’m sure it was longer, but it just went quickly which isn’t always the case. Everyone always asks me who is hardest to photograph. There is no easy answer- sometimes its toddlers/babies because they don’t listen, sometimes its teens cause they’re super self- concious. But sometimes it’s just easy and fast, no matter the ages. I’m lucky I just have awesome clients!! And the littlest just HAD to get in the tree, so we all worked hard to get her up there and made it happen.

My very first year photographing this awesome crew and hopefully not my last! Even though I got a bit of a shy vibe from the little guy in the first few minutes, we became fast friends. I knew I’d win him over with my ladder! Never underestimate the power of a small ladder and fart noises. I loved their styling- their outfits were awesome! Perfect fall colors and textures that just enhanced the people wearing them and fit in with the foliage and setting. If you listen close enough, you can hear the giggles and hugs.

I have only photographed this crew once before, but you can bet i was so happy to have them in front of my camera again! I think the son was particularly happy that we got it done in quick time- most boys aren’t much for pictures! (yeah, first hand experience here x3!) The last time I photographed them it was with their whole giant extended family(including 5 cousins aged 9 months-10 years), so a session with just the two kids was a breeze. I did ask mom & dad to jump in one photo just for them which they did, but since it’s just for them and the kids, I won’t be posting it. But these kiddos are super cute so they can have the spotlight for now.

I love photographing this crew, especially the utter craziness with their giant dogs! We hit up two locations this year, because bringing the giant dogs to the park was just way too much. Mom did such an amazing job decorating the front of their house for fall so I was extra glad to be able to capture that too.
