You can all breathe a sigh of relief...this isn't another pointless personal post. This is a post with pictures from a fun family session we did a couple weeks ago. Cute kids are involved, so get excited!

When Kami wrote me a while back about doing this session, I was pumped! I've known Kami for a long time. She's the older sister of one of my ALL-TIME best friends, Kasie. (Side note, Kasie, affectionately known as Kasie Boo by her niece, came along for the shoot!! Yay for that!)

Anyway, Kami wanted something 'different' (love that) so I had all these awesome locations (or so I thought) and ideas planned out. Well, when we did a final look at the places, there was something wrong with each of them. There was either too much glass around, too much tall grass/weeds and thus ticks, and basically, they just weren't kid friendly. When they arrived, little miss 'B' wasn't exactly super-excited about getting her pictures taken. SO, we headed to the nearest alley and when we got there, there was all these large construction trucks and stuff in front of where we wanted to shoot. At this point, 'B' is even more unhappy (I never realized we were so scary..hehe) so we just said forget it and worked it right there!

Kasie Boo tried making 'B' smile by fake hurting herself...like tripping on the curb, running into signs, etc... It worked like a charm. She began giggling like CRAZY!! She's just the cutest thing.  We worked fast while the smiles were in full force. Here's some of what we got:

Three posts in one week?! LOOK OUT!! Our last family session was with the fabulous Casey, Sammi and a-dor-able kiddos. This might have been the windiest day yet... but we weren't out in it long because little miss had more pressing things to tend to...like playing. =) It was pretty funny. She wanted to be anywhere where the camera wasn't. Regardless it was so much fun...and check out little man's cheeks! GASP! So squeezable!

Here's a few of our favorites:

I have to tell you, I'm now craving McDonald's... maybe a nice biscuit and a hash brown....eh?

This family is one. cool. family! There's lots of them and each one is stocked full of personality, jokes, jabs and love. On the way home we commented on just how 'good' they are together and how the spouses fit in perfectly. Oh, they are also a very welcoming group and instantly made us feel right at home.

This is the biggest family we've photographed (aside from formals at weddings) and we really just didn't know how to plan for that, so we didn't. We just showed up, fought the wind and watched them interact. It was just a great time.

You may remember some of this group from this session a while back.

Hooray! It's our first session on the new blog! We took these pictures Easter weekend and there was tons of light to play with...not something we've seen much of here lately. Ok, I'll be honest with you...I'm really trying to focus on writing this but I'm watching Mama Mia...and I am SUCH a sucker for musicals...especially the large group song and dance spectaculars...sigh. Ok, that part's over now...back to reality. But seriously...life should really be more like a musical!  Wouldn't that be awesome?! No?

For real this time, back to these cute kids. We had so much fun that afternoon. They both have such great personalities. Miss A was good about letting us know she would smile when SHE wanted to while her brother could crank grins out at the snap of the finger. They're quite the pair! =)
