The good thing about the fact that I absolutely ADORE working with this family?  It’s that they have let me photograph them A LOT over the last three years… and it keeps getting better with every session.  Everything from family sessions, to first birthday sessions, to extended family sessions – to our big one last year – where some of you may remember the husband who surprised his wife at Squire’s Castle and proposed to her all over again for their 10 year anniversary! Bottom line – I hold these four near and dear to my PBB heart and am so grateful to them for the way they have shown their support.

Any time that I work with a family multiple times – it’s all about keeping things fresh.  What HAVEN’T we done yet?!  What’s different about their story from the last time we photographed? And the biggest thing that I learned from Mom during our consult is that she really wanted to capture the relationship that her kiddos have and this really cool age they are at right now.    And what better place than with swings, slides and castles to explore together!? So we hit the playground… and these two hit the ground running….  And my camera couldn’t click fast enough to capture the million moments these two little best friends gave me…

After the playground – we hit the lake to capture some late-evening family shots.   These two were still at each other’s side.

10 years of marriage.  Still act like it’s a first date.

Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for three years of photography turned into three years of friendship.   You have been so amazing to me – and I’m lucky to be the one that gets to capture the really unique bond that you guys have.  Thanks for all of it.  Until next time…
