All big brother wanted to do…was shoot some hoops, pick some vegetables, and show the little guy his helicopter.  Happy Saturday morning with this sweet family…with much to be thankful for.

Sweet things going on in this household.  Just enough years between these two…to be super sweet.  ‘Let me show you my super heroes.’

A total treat seeing these guys in New York.  About an hour and half away from the hustle of the Big City…you’ll find horses, golden rows of corn, beautiful gardens and majestic mountains.  I felt like I took a mini vacation on this shoot – thanks for having me out!

This sweet one…was baptized with family and friends surrounding…in one of the most uplifting services I’ve been to in a while.  There’s no doubt that your new church family’s arms are wide open for you.  Congratulations little guy.

One of my very favorite families…along side one of their favorite families…for a great week of fun in the sun.

I love, love, love getting to see these guys and can’t believe it’s already been a year.  Everyone is still so stinkin’ cute and delicious.  Between the cheeks, puppy dogs, crabs and seashells…we had ourselves a great little morning.  Thanks for calling me.

How great that everyone was up and ironed…dressed and ready-to-go…and every single one of them ended up in the ocean.  Grandfather had nothing but smiles and laughs as his grandchildren pushed him into the water with his clothes on.  So what did the rest of the crowd do?  Joined him.  Happy 45th Anniversary…you make it fun.

I met these boys years ago next to some sailboats and firetrucks.  Here’s to growing up a little…climbing trees…and feeding those ducks.  By the way…love the way you love on Mama.

So…most of my shoots end up getting a little crazy.  Quite frankly, some of the time I cause the chaos.  My thing is – the rowdier the better – we start having a little fun and the real smiles come out.  Inevitably, we push this fun as far as we can…sometimes right up until tears.  Fashion not function, people.  We have work to do.  I love it when the parents get it…don’t stress out…and as in this case, high five at the end of it.  Perfect – love it.  (I shot this sweet little family before when they only had ONE munchkin!)  So great to see you guys again and meet all the new little people!

How fun it is…to be 5 years old and skipping through the park…laughing…picking flowers and climbing trees.  Thanks for a sweet, little Summer morning.
