…like take a snack break, for instance 😉
And play airplane and read and tickle and laugh.
See what I mean? Look at those yummy colors!!!
Their backyard was just as magical.
Very much looking forward to seeing these two play in front of a crowd someday. I can say I knew them when 😉
Sigh. I was there forever that night. I didn’t want to leave. We were having such a great time hanging out, playing around, sharing stories, and commiserating about the “joys” of having three kiddos. Erin…I know I’ve told you this before, but your family is amazing and you and Adam have done such a great job as parents. I admire your easy-going nature (even if you claim it wasn’t always so). So glad to have you as a friend, my dear.
…and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring their property, where we decided to commemorate her 1 year birthday.
One year of motherhood. And fatherhood…
One full year as a family of three.
They have big plans for this place. Her daddy says he’s going to build her a tree house right here.
They are a wonderfully connected couple.
We were packing up and heading to the car when I noticed this scene…
…and then we headed to the house for a few more…
The one at the top w/ her and her daddy…love (be sure to check out Blake’s beautiful work.) I’d say parenthood looks good on them and they’ve done a wonderful job raising a joyful, charming baby girl.
This may very well have been the most active session I’ve ever
done…and that’s saying a lot because there were only two people
involved. I think it very accurately reflects where he is in his life
right now, which is *exactly* what his mommy wanted to capture.
flew planes and skateboarded…
…followed by more skateboarding…
…and snuggles from mom.
Then we practiced some edible spelling…
…football…
(I hope he appreciates his spectacular peepers)
…and of course some baseball:
(omg, LOVE the tongue).
More snuggles from mom and then to cap off the evening, a nice bike ride:
Yup. That covers it. We indeed did it all.
No, seriously…LOVED this session:
At a mere 10 lbs 6 oz (oh yes, that’s NOT a typo), baby Carter came into this world today just as cute as he could be! If they were to give trophies out at the end of births, his mama certainly deserved one for completing this marathon med free. Beautiful, beautiful and MUCH anticipated birth day.
I admit it’s a little tough for me to watch these kiddos grow up. It reminds me of how fast my own children are growing. But it does make me happy that families are documenting each of these milestones in photographs…something I promise they will never regret. It makes me excited to see how much she’s going to change even over the next year. Thank you guys…from the bottom of my heart..it has been a beautiful, beautiful year with you!
We were all so happy…so joyful…so eager to celebrate this little man’s birth! There were so many tears all around. Notice the one in his grandmother’s eye. We actually had to stop the session several times because we were so caught up in it all. I told them I would *never* be able to finish the session if we didn’t collect ourselves, but once the waterworks turned on, we were all goners. This one makes me giggle:
(I wish someone could have gotten all of us in the frame…you can’t see my own tissue 😉
But these last two images really captured the vibe of that morning for me. I was photographing dad and his boy and I could literally *feel* the gaze of mom back there. The love was so intense…so palatable. Wow. It got me. Still gets me.
(I could have worked in this yellow room all day!)
Big sis “to be” got a little sleepy during our session and so she spent a little quiet time with her parents. These were my favorite moments.
And of course, the pupster had to be in some pictures!
(Oh, doesn’t mama remind you of Natalie Portman??? Well, I thought so anyway.)
