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 ;-).

I.love.this.kid. And his family. It was truly by luck that we were able to squeeze in his newborn session almost a year ago and I'm so happy we did. Oh, did I ever share pics from his 4 month session in November?

We all came together at one of my favorite parks to throw leaves, laugh, and enjoy the amazing fall air last holiday season (yes...I'm still about 10 posts out from blogging 2011 sessions ;-). Mom's eyes had me captivated, but the little ones...they definitely stole my heart. I know family sessions aren't always the easiest thing to get everyone together for (who am I kidding...it's got to be more difficult than childbirth), but as I'm reminded by my own children every day, you don't get this back...not one second of it.
