There are few things better than getting to freeze time for a family as you get to watch their kids grow before your eyes!  I first got to photograph this family when mom was pregnant with baby #2, again when he was a newborn, and now for his first birthday!  We’d had this session on the calendar for a while because both sets of grandparents would be around to celebrate, so when the weather that morning didn’t cooperate, we just moved the session indoors to their lovely home.  We started off with a few outdoor portraits in a break from the rain, and then spent some time in the boys’ rooms.  There’s just something genuine and fun about capturing a family in the environment where they’re the most comfortable.  They really got to play together, and I got to capture it all!  And what in the moment may feel a little chaotic, in the images I see when I get home, I just fall in love with how real they are!

I have the pleasure of saying this is another 4peat family, and it’s been fun to watch them grow!  From anniversary pics, to maternity pics, to baby pics, and now toddler pics with their mobile little boy, they are literally growing right before my eyes, and it’s an honor and privilege to freeze these moments in time.  One of our favorites So You moments from the session is the truest to real life.  Can you guess which one it is?  Which is your favorite?

Challenge Fitness 2nd Anniversary

In early November, Challenge Fitness celebrated their second anniversary!  So I was there with camera in hand to capture 2 classes on Sunday morning.  Most everyone remembered to wear their red and black to commemorate the occasion, and a good workout was had by all!  Thanks for 2 years of pushing us to be our best and get results, Amy and Jorge!  #teamamyjorge
