A few weeks ago I had the honor of spending a few hours with a wonderful family. Although it was freezing, we bared the cold. Ok they bared the cold... I had my big coat on :) Despite slowly turning into popsicles, I was surprised how happy and excited the little girls were! Kielyn and Taylor ran all over the place, and Kielyn held my hand and helped me pick out all the best places to take photos! And when they weren't running around they were clinging to their brothers' sides.
This was an opportunity to capture a family, at a moment in time, happy and full of life! I found out during our session that Ben, who is in the military reserves, is actually getting ready to leave for Afghanistan for the next year. Knowing this it makes me love and appreciate my job so much more. I hope that these photos are something they can hold on to during their time apart and I pray that time goes quickly and that Ben comes home soon!
Hand family - Thank you for the sacrifices you are making to keep this country free, and thank you for letting me be a part of capturing your memories. Enjoy!
Throwing leaves! Kielyn picked this spot :)
It's easy to see why they have such beautiful children...
Also, I want to share with you all a new feature! I am now able to create slideshows and put them right here on the blog to let you see a lot more pictures! So, if you are interested in seeing a bunch more photos from this session just click play below. My favorite feature is that you can also email the show... at the bottom, under the controls bar, there is a little envelope. Click that and you can send the slide show to anyone you want to share it with!
Happy Friday everyone!
