gaege and his family

I always get so excited when a past client contacts me again for family photos.  It is such an honor to be given the opportunity to capture anyone, but my absolute favorite is capturing a family because it is such a special thing to see the relationship between people who love one another most come through my camera.  Especially the relationship a mother or a father has with their child.  If I’ve been reminded of anything in the past few months, having a two year old at home myself, it is that two year olds have their own ideas on how a situation is going to go, and this little guy had his own idea of how this session was going to (or not going to) go!  (I think maybe he knew there was a birthday party and a bounce house that sounded much more fun coming up later that day?!)  I had in my mind the shots that I wanted to get, but they were obviously not going to happen.  Yet, when I came home and downloaded these images I was SO happy.  Even in a situation where this two year old was not thrilled to be photographed, you can still see, so clearly, how much he really loves his mom and dad.  Better yet, how much his mom and dad love him!

Thank you so much to the G family for, once again, giving me the opportunity to capture your family this year! 

This one is such a dad photo!  I love it!
