Mother’s Day Shoot | Family Photos

Lori contacted us to see if we would be willing to take some photos of her, her brother, and their significant others as a surprise for her momma for Mother’s Day.  Although our schedule was pretty crammed, how could we say no to such a sweet request?!   Especially since the ‘boys’ were so willing to model for us for a couple of hours?!  Ok, ok, the ‘boys’ had to be bribed with a trip to Bass Pro…on the condition that they agreed to smile ‘pretty’ for the camera.  How funny is that?!  It worked well…the ‘boy’s behaved and we got some wonderful shots!

Here’s a shot of the four of them…adorable, aren’t they?  I hope their momma was happy with her gift!  :)

Here’s Lori and her boyfriend Dave…

And Danny & Kristin…

We didn’t have any fun at all…can’t you tell?  Of course it helps that our ‘subjects’ were AWESOME and so much FUN!

We didn’t want to post these before Mother’s Day and ruin the surprise, so here they are a week later.   We hope that all of the Mom’s out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Lori, Danny, Dave, & Kristin ~ The four of you are simply awesome to take time out of your lives to give your momma such a wonderful gift.  I hope she enjoyed the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them!  :)  Thanks for meeting up with us!

Aidan & Owen | Family Photos

Matt & I met Aidan in October 2007, and instantly fell completely in love with him.  In May of 2009, he was lucky enough to get a little brother, Owen.  Both boys are absolutely & completely PRECIOUS!  Their parents, Amanda and Jason, have asked us to photograph the boys as they grow up, which has resulted in us becoming completely attached to the little fellows.  So, when Amanda emailed wanting some Spring/Owen’s 1st year/Family photos, we jumped on the chance!  :) 

Here are a ‘few’ photos of the Birthday Boy.   Owen is the most inquisitive character and is constantly studying and feeling the world around him.  His concentration abilities are impressive for such a little guy!  His parents say he is going to be an “engineer” when he grows up.  I totally believe it!  :)

Of course we can’t leave out Aidan!  Aidan has the most expressive face EVER, and has us cracking up during the entire photo shoot!  He is also very polite - he says “please” and “thank you” and even says “excuse me” if he needs to interrupt us for anything!  I LOVE THAT!

I LOVE this collage.  The photo on the left was taken in Oct. 2007…the one on the right was taken in April 2010…we just happened to capture Aidan and Jason in the same pose.  Look how big Aidan has gotten!

We did take some family photos too:

 

Here are some more of the boys…

Aidan is fearless when it comes to bugs.  I on the other hand am very grateful that I have the ability to stand away from the bug(s) and ZOOM in with my lens!  :)

Amanda & Jason ~ Thank you both so much…Matt and I are lucky that we get to work with such wonderful people!   Your children are such handsome little guys, and we love that we get to watch them grow up.  :)  We can’t wait to see you all again and we hope you enjoy your photos!

Meet Ainsley | Newborn Photos

A couple of years ago, we were asked to take photos for a little guy named Parker.  In January, the family welcome a little girl into their home named Ainsley.  We were very excited to take Ainsley’s photos because it meant we got to see Parker again…AND we got to try out some new baby props!  BONUS!

Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL?!  :)
