Fall Family Portraits

Emily and I have really been enjoying all the family portrait sessions we've been doing lately. It is a nice change of pace from weddings and keeps us thinking about new and exciting ways to capture people, their personalities and their relationships. Check out some highlights from a couple recent shoots.


Elizabeth, Jeff & Bolen













Little Bolen was so cute trying to pick up that big pumpkin. Check out the whole sequence of events in the slideshow below.








Wanna know what prompted these priceless expressions? Check out the slideshow below to see.


Kids are lucky because they can do expressions like this and it's hilarious whereas adults looking like this would just look weird.


Luckily we ended the shoot on a happy note. :)






Kris, Steve, Jack & Kyra

Sig, the family pooch, was the model doggie and helped complete the family portrait.


...and was well thanked for his cooperation.













Jack and Kyra were some of the most well-mannered children we have had the pleasure of meeting. Of course we had to bring out a little of their goofy side for some shots too.









Steve's parents happened to be visiting so we included them in a few shots. They were such a happy couple and obviously still very much in love, which is always great to see.

Fun with Family Portraits

A couple of the many fun shoots we've done lately (and that we are behind on blogging) were for two wonderful families. Here are excerpts from the family albums we did of their shoots. Enjoy and if you would like to have something similar for your little one or your whole family, just give us a call or send us an email. We'd love to capture your loved ones in a unique and fun way.

Teresa, Joe and little Ryan
Little Ryan has the cutest cheeks on the planet!








The many faces of Ryan.





Showing off his first two teeth with that smile. Too cute.

Katie, Dan and little William
We loved this cute series of him running to mommy and daddy and the beautiful, loving hug that followed.











William certainly has the whole #1 thing down. What a smart little tike!







More family sessions (plus a whole lot more) to come so check back soon.

Introducing baby Zoee!

While we're down here in sunny (read: hot!) Florida for a destination wedding, we caught up with one of our favorite couples, Kelli and Matt, who just had their first baby! Lil' Zoee is just two months old and as adorable as can be. We had so much fun with Kelli and Matt throughout their engagement and wedding that we told them we had to be their personal photographers for life.

Since they live near Clearwater beach, we thought what better time for Zoee's first trip to the beach than a family portrait session. Afterwards, we went back to their place for some more "lifestyle" portraits in Zoee's "Princess Pink" nursery.

Be sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom for more utter cuteness!





She knows she's adorable. Look at that face!





No sleep for this wiggle worm. She is so active (and strong) for a two month old.





Only babies can make spit bubbles look downright cute!
