This family was one of the FIRST to sign up for a 2013 photo shoot and I was so excited to finally meet them after getting to know Mom through email and on Facebook!  We had just an AWESOME morning in Bay Village to photograph – and couple that with these adorable kiddos and this spirited family – well, I don’t know about everyone else, but I was excited to start snapping!

We had a great time running around the beach – and thanks to these guys being willing to wake up early with me – we basically had the beach to ourselves (outside of a high school team running sprints in the sand.  Yeahhhhh I think we had the better gig that morning!)  We had such a fun time and I love walking away from a session with the feeling I did when I left these guys… such a great little family…

When does a piano belong on a beach?  When a little girl loves music (and this piano) – that’s when!!

Don’t mind me, folks… just tickling the ivories over here.

Don’t get me started on how much I love this picture and the fact that they just immediately started hugging and laughing the minute they got up there.  Love when “parent” shots feel like an engagement session (as they should!)

Thank so much, you four!  What an awesome day full of pianos in the sand, skipping rocks in the creek – and a WHOLE lot of laughter and happiness.  You guys were rockstars.  Thanks for the chance to (finally) meet you and work with you…..
