Sunny. Breezy. The perfect day for chasing some kids around a park and snapping some photos. I’ve so enjoyed photographing these two (and their parents) these last few years. It’s so neat to see them growing up through my lens, even if I only get to see them every couple of months.

This spring, they were a little more wiggly. Their personalities dictate the photoshoot these days – more exploring, less sitting still. They aren’t afraid to smile for the camera, or make funny faces. And what cute funny faces they are!

The day ended with more bubblegum ice cream on the table than in the kids, lots of giggling and less chicken-strip eating. A few dandelions plucked in the parking lot. The best kind of day.

Do you have a favorite family photo? What makes it so special?

When I decided to wrap photography into my business last year, I had no idea how rewarding it would be. I love getting the chance to take fun, energetic photos of families that they wouldn’t ever be able to capture themselves.

I had the opportunity to photograph my good friend Jamie’s family last year, and it was a lot of fun to do it again one year later. The kids were a little less wiggly, but just as full of their own personality. My personal favorites are always the candid shots: her little boy running through the leaves, smiling up at me on the jungle gym. His little sister skipping down the path, her fist pumped in the air, a war cry on her lips.

These are the memories that give me the most joy to capture.

What is your favorite family photo ever? What makes it so special?

Fall sunshine. Brisk temperatures. Plenty of energy.

The perfect recipe for family pictures in the park.

“I can’t tell you how rare it is that I capture a picture where [my son] is smiling like the one in the sampling that you sent. It is rare. Thank you! I love all seven that you emailed. Thank you so much, again! You did a beautiful job!” – Jamie
