The sun was about to set on a warm, lazy day.  The siblings bounded out of the car ready for action.  The giggles were endless…the hugs, smiles, and twinkles in their eyes…displayed the affection that this family had for one another.  Mom, dad and even their furry brother seemed to know that this was a typical Sunday – full of love, laughter and togetherness.

There is something magical about capturing a child’s first experience with summer.  The sweet and sticky air brings bounce to new curls.  Prickly blades of grass poke curious little feet.  Plentiful dirt collides with soft, squishy skin.  Meredith is ready to discover all that it has to offer!

Let them be little.  Let them play.  These siblings were given the opportunity to be together within the limitless boundaries of nature.  This freedom allowed them to express their empathy and inner joy.  It showed their parents a window into the future – the bond that will always bring them back together.

The sun was vibrant and the sky was lit for a perfect afternoon beach photoshoot.  The girls were bubbling over with energy and excitement as they arrived.  As they settled in with their parents, the sense of “togetherness” was authentic.  Their stories, their laughter, their connection…exude the comforts of being home.

An overwhelming sense of open arms was the feeling that started this family photoshoot.  The joy and connection was exuded in such an inclusive manner, it felt like home.  Togetherness is family.  All who have the opportunity to be around this family not only feel this bond, they magically become a part of it.

Zoey’s newborn photoshoot seemed just moments ago.  As she gazed down at her 11 day old self, her parents marveled at her changes.  Though she grows everyday, the space that she takes up in her family’s heart is immeasurable.  Her entire face lights up when she smiles, and everyone who is around her feels her joy.  Happy 1 year, Zoey!

Welcome to the world, little Henry.  You are so loved by your parents and big sister, Hadley.  Hadley loved being near your angelic face, button nose and perfect pout.  When you were awake you seemed very curious and thoughtful.  You were so calm –it seemed as if you knew you were surrounded by your adoring family.  Wishing joy in every waking (and sleeping!) moment to this new family of 4 .

These three vibrant kids seemed to have one mission in mind – to seek adventure and magic wherever they go.  Mom planned a nice afternoon photoshoot for her children.  The kids, however, had one goal in mind – to explore!

These adorable little boys were patient and calm during their family photoshoot.  Conor loved being around his mama and their smiles reflect their happiness together.  Tyler cracked a smirk while watching his older brother.  Mom and dad sure are blessed with these little boys!

Have a wonderful new year!
