I've had a daughter for 2.5 years now, but for some strange reason, I still think of myself first as a "mom to boys." That relationship is very special to me and I'm immediately drawn to images of moms and their sons. I was so thrilled when Christi asked me to photograph her family and I loved watching how she interacted with her boys. She loves them both equally, but differently. She appreciates their individual personalities and is simply amazing at letting them both shine their own lights. She is a beautiful matriarch ;-).
We rode bikes. We enjoyed the beautiful weather. I took snapshots of my kids. I didn't care that my baby girl wasn't perfectly coordinated. My middle son learned to ride on two wheels. We added a few more memories to the family memory bank.
This session will definitely go down in the books for me. First of all, look at all the littles!!! We were definitely on our toes keeping everyone in the same zip code while we tooled around town, but gosh, we had a blast! Just loving the way mom put together their outfits (so impressive) and the random doggie that showed up in the middle our our shoot ;-). It was mom's idea to do the ice cream at the end--she definitely took one for the team and the kids were totally thrilled.
The family dynamic here was incredible. The energy was contagious. The love was abundant among the kids AND parents. I truly enjoyed my time with them and reading Tracy's words about her session/family just made so happy (p.s. Tracy is a wonderful photographer!!!). You've got to see the amazing gallery she put together in her home...that's what really counts...her kids get to walk by there every day and see how much they are loved.
October is full,
November is almost, too,
Book your holiday session now,
Or you'll be blue.
We can hold it in July
Or August is neat.
For a full session those months,
You'll get a special treat.
Obviously I'm tired,
And my poetry is lame.
But without family pictures,
Your cards simply won't be the same.

Okay, enough of that. (I can't believe I went there.) All I wanted to say was this:November is almost, too,

Or August is neat.
For a full session those months,
You'll get a special treat.
Obviously I'm tired,
And my poetry is lame.
But without family pictures,

I've had the privilege of working with so many amazing mothers this year. Some of you became mothers for the first time. Some of you are seasoned pros. All of you have inspired me in countless ways. I hope you had a wonderful and very special Mother's Day today!
