This fun family wanted to do their holiday photo session right where they all spend their quality time together… in their new dream home! I am SO glad that they did, because it was definitely holiday photo perfection in my eyes! I knew the session was going to be a good one the day that I met with mom for their pre-session consultation several weeks before. We sipped on a nice warm cup of coffee at their dinning room table, and discussed all the great session possiblities. Like all my other sessions at that time, we were patiently waiting for an awesome fall backdrop for some of their outdoor photos. The morning that we actually did their holiday photo session, it was a crisp, chilly fall morning. We had to keep it snappy, but luckily dad had his big jacket handy to warm the kiddos up for a bit. I couldn’t help but capture that cuteness. They were so much fun to photograph! Between outdoor shots, we rearranged their formal dining room furniture, and took more classic photos indoors to warm up. These two silly kiddos were great help when I needed to get my light tested. ;-) They did so well for us, and of course we had to capture a few good photos of mom and dad together! We were even able to get a few more artsy images to include their gorgeous chandalier. It was a fun perspective on a few more traditional photos. This was my first “holiday” photo session of the season, and this blog post definitely has me eager to do many more soon. I’m so excited that they will have these photos to look back on one day. How sweet it will be to reminisce on all the fun they had growing up in their childhood home!

Families, KidsEach year I gift a pretty frame and a family photography session to my sister and her husband for Christmas. Last year she decided to use that session for portraits of her beautiful step daughter. It took us SIX months to coordinate our schedules to get that session done! This Christmas we did her family photo session the VERY next day, and I was beyond eager to take photos of them! They live way down in southeast Texas, so we actually ventured to Louisiana for their session. It was definitely worth the drive, because I am IN LOVE with their family photos! You better believe I’ll be printing a few of these myself to hang in my home. They have their hands full with a beautiful sassy teen and two rambunctious, yet handsome boys. I’m beyond grateful to be their Aunt, and am SO glad they’re so much fun. As always, the boys were incredibly silly. They had a blast running around the huge deck! My little newborn inspiration and aspiring photographer even had to break out his new iPod and take photos himself. I absolutely love it!! Looking at these photos again makes me miss them something major, BUT they also make me smile… because I know they have beautiful photos hanging on their walls now! Just as everyone should. ;-)Seriously so precious and SO silly!!
Since they’re family I had to sneak in one of their funny face test shots! Haha
They have to keep an eye on this pretty Miss! ;-)
These goofballs are total sweethearts also!
