A Hop, Skip and a Jump!

This photo session was literally a hop, skip and jump from my house!  It was a good thing because we did the session early on a Saturday morning to get the best possible light.  As it turned out, it was a cloudy day and any time of day would have been great!  The early morning didn't seem to bother the "F" family at all.  It was so nice to do the session in their beautiful back yard.  The best part was that they got to sit around sipping coffee while the girls splashed in the pool.  It was so much fun to let the kids play and capture them doing what they love!  The best part of the morning was when the family decided to all jump in the pool at the same time.  Funny how "EK" stayed high and dry on the edge of the pool and everyone else landed up with a big splash in the water.  I think she had it planned all along! 

It's a Surprise!

I met this family on one of our hot humid evenings.  They were a great crew, ready for anything....and so were the mosquitoes! Monkey bars, jumping, a bit of silliness and lots of smiles made our time together lots of fun! This session is a surprise gift for their grandparents 40th anniversary.  Enjoy your sneak peek! 

Sorry it was not Florida!

I think that the older 2 "P" kids were some of the first kids I photographed when I got into photography quite a number of years ago.  I recently met them in the airport in July when we happened to be on the same flight to Florida.  I was so happy to hear about your fabulous memories and what some of your favorite spots were.  I know that a photo session is not nearly as great as Florida but we still had a pretty good time.  "S" is turning 4 soon so we snapped a few extra pictures of her in her hot pink party dress.  You sure are a beautiful birthday girl "S".  As your Mom said, it feels like yesterday that we wrapped you up in a pretty pink blanket and took pictures of you sleeping peacefully on a bookshelf.

 And Mom just couldn't resist joining her girls for a few last shots.  You would never guess that she had not planned to be in any pictures.  She looked great and coordinated perfectly!
