This family is near and dear to my heart. They have trusted me with multiple family sessions (#1, #2 and #3), plus both of Lindsay's sisters are past bride's of mine (Hi, Ashley and Kelsey!). I can't tell you how honored I am to have been a part of their lives … and continue to be called back! It's the ultimate goal for a photographer, and I'm just pinching myself that I get to hang out with this family on a regular basis. The kids? Adorable. Hilarious. Intelligent. The parents? Positive. Great senses of humor. Kind as all get out. :)

This photo makes me want to go frolic through a field. How carefree and HAPPY does Damien look?! This is the picture of childhood right here.

Vincent was really more interested in collecting sticks and rocks and leaves than he was in getting his photo taken. It's OK though. We made it work!

And Adelaide was ready to do anything I asked her. She was a pro at posing for the camera. What a cutie.

Sara and Jim are two of my favorite people ever. I did their engagement photos last fall, and when I put out a plea on Facebook for models for a teaching session I was planning for my second shooters, they didn't hesitate. I'm so incredibly happy we got to work together again because these two are so fun. Jim has such a good attitude and a constant smile and Sara giggles at everything he whispers in her ear. Perfect. :)

Fun news: I'm starting to play with film. :) :) Sara and Jim were super patient with me while I switched between my film camera and my digital one. Up there on the left is film, digital is on the right.
