Grandparents are the best | Murray, KY family session in the park

My BFF Allison's parents came to town a few weeks ago to stay with William while she and her husband Pat attended a friend's wedding in Boston. Pat had to go a day early for the bachelor party so he unfortunately missed out on these photos. Funny side note - Allison posted some of these to her facebook after I delivered them to her and several people asked if she and Pat were still together. They are!

I love the idea of a grandparents session and I'm SO glad Allison brought it up. I had a really special relationship with my grandmother and I think of her often but don't have too many photos of us together. I love that William will be able to look back on these later in life and be able to see how fun his grandparents are and how much he's loved.

Johnson Family | Murray, KY

This adorable family session came together in only one week! Amelie is getting braces on next week so we were on a bit of a time crunch. See Laurel, the little sister? The last time the Johnsons had portraits done, she was only 4 months old. It was definitely time for an updated family photograph! 

Daniel and Leigh are both MSU professors and I absolutely love getting to shoot Murray State families. It's great to get to see them outside the office! I ask my families to fill out a questionnaire so I can get to know them a little better before we shoot. Leigh's one word to describe her fam was "funny" which I think is clear in these photos. Amelie's photobomb of her parents' picture was priceless.  My goal is always to capture photos that people would want to print and hang on the wall and ones that they'll look back on years later and still laugh at and smile about because their personalities shine through. Most importantly the whole experience should be FUN especially when kids are involved. If all else fails, bribes of ice cream seem to do the trick!

Wesley really likes trains

Wesley loves trains.  He is really good at smiling for the camera.  His parents, Sean and Tiffany, are some of my favorite people.  In short, this shoot was the greatest.

I especially like the images where Wesley is running around - I think it's good to capture some more true-to-life images and anyone with a toddler can tell you that perfectly still, smiling at the camera and posing are not at all representative of everyday life.
